Session: Opportunities for Public/Private Partnerships

Oral
Opportunities for Public/Private Partnerships
This session highlights some of the patterns and characteristics of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the health sector, primarily citing examples in developing countries. Different aspects of PPPs, from actual health care provision to public health endeavors, will be covered in this session. Specifically, the presentations will discuss (1) results of a report “Priority Medicines for Europe and the World” presented to the EU by the WHO, citing public-private partnerships as an important vehicle to developing medicines for which there is minimal commercial incentive; (2) use of a district level stakeholder secretariat in Kenya to facilitate joint planning and implementation of work plans, as well as strengthen relationships between partners and with the Ministry of Health; (3) the impact of a public-private partnership in Mexico to provide “youth-friendly” pharmaceutical and reproductive health services and (4) utilization and expenditure patterns in rural Bangladesh to evaluate the role of public and private sector, and the health policy implications of the public-private mix.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant will be able to (1) develop an understanding of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in health care provision in developing countries and (2) assess different strategies in incorporating the private sector into public health objectives.
