This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides comparative analysis on private sector engagement for COVID-19 response in the Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR) with a specific focus on private sector health service delivery. The intention of this paper is to distil behaviours and derive lessons to strengthen governance of health systems, inclusive of the private sector in health. The study methodology included a literature review of articles published between January 2020 and March 2022 supplemented by key informant interviews with government, academic, development partner and private sector representatives. The comparative analysis highlights a range of practice in response to COVID-19. Practice built upon available institutional arrangements, organisational structures, mechanisms for coordination and information exchange. The degree to which this was effective varied and is reflective of the attributes of EMR contexts to manage change and secure essential public health functions. WHO seeks to support Member States with a practice-based and action-oriented approach to governance of the private sector in health, one that is grounded in context.

This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

The focus of this definition is on private sector entities involved in service delivery.

Garfield and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-01-03 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Covid-19 pandemic underscored the essential nature of public health to a high-functioning society across all realms: personal, governmental, and corporate. Corporations, specifically, experienced the significant business impact that a major public health event can have, having to manage workplaces from a health and safety perspective, address workforce disruption, deal with vacillating demand for goods and services, and manage the disruption of supply chains. Entire industries were disrupted disproportionately like the service and travel industries. In addition, corporations saw the disparate impact on their minority workers, bringing health inequities into sharp focus. These and other consequences demonstrated the drastic economic impact that public health occurrences can have on businesses and the communities in which they operate.
