Download or read book Governance of dual practice in the public and private health sectors written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dual practice, the combination of public and private practice in the same or different sites, is ubiquitous in most national health systems. Within the literature, there has been more focus on the dual practice of physicians and specialists, although nurses, midwives and other health workers also engage in the practice. The adverse consequences of dual practice for universal health care vary by context, and evidence is largely descriptive and fails to quantify and analyse its effects. Governance response also remains inherently contextual and varies by level of implementation intensity and capacity. Overall, the effects of different governance tools in response to dual practice remain unexplored in the literature. Studies do not elicit much insight into the process of policy reform in response to dual practice.

This book was released on 2023-07-14 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This case study documents the experience of engaging with the private sector in health to maintain the delivery and use of essential health services (EHS) with a specific focus on maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) and family planning (FP) services during the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan. A case study methodology was employed, drawing on desk review and key informant interviews, which were conducted between February and April 2022. Several opportunities were raised through the case study, to seize momentum, to ‘build back’ and nurture trust in the health system eroded by COVID-19 pandemic, harnessing all health sectors. While these were specific to Pakistan, they can be relevant to a wider audience.

Download or read book Healthy Partnerships written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2011 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the private health sector is an important, and often dominant, provider of health services in Sub-Saharan Africa, it is the job of governments as the stewards of the health system to engage with it. Increasing the contributions that the existing private health sector is making to public health is an important, but often neglected, element of meeting the daunting health-related challenges facing African nations. This Report presents newly collected data on how and how effectively each country in the Africa region is engaging the respective private health sectors; and how the engagement compares across the region. While the approach taken by governments varies greatly between countries, there is much room for improvement in the Africa region overall to engage more effectively and room for exchange of ideas and good practices on how to do so. Improved solutions on the policy/regulatory side should be supported by effective organization of the private sector itself and by adjustments in donor programs that take the dynamics of the private health sector better into account.

This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted at the United Nations Development Summit to serve as a 15-year plan of action for all countries and people. The SDGs include 17 specific goals, and 169 associated targets that set out quantitative objectives across the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development, all to be achieved by 2030. Health has been recognized as crucial for sustainable human development and an essential contributor to the economic growth of society. Beyond the goal to "ensure healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages," many of the other SDGs include targets that are essential to address the environmental and social determinants of health. Considering this context, the Forum on Publicâ€"Private Partnerships for Global Health and Safety convened a workshop series to examine potential opportunities to engage the private sector and develop partnerships to advance health and the SDGs. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop series.

This book was released on 2024-01-16 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document introduces a collaboratively developed study protocol to identify what data and information is currently being collected by governments and how this is used for governance of the private sector in health. As part of inclusive health policy, ‘situational awareness’ and the generation of intelligence is needed by governments on the private sector in health. To perform specific governance functions, such as contracting, more explicit information on the private sector is required. This study responds to recommendations from the private sector landscaping undertaken as part of the WHO strategy report “Engaging the private health service delivery sector through governance in mixed health systems”.
Download or read book Embracing Mixed Health Systems Navigating the Development Trap written by April Harding and published by . This book was released on 2024-08-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines policies and programs which overcome the barriers that too often impede policy makers and aid agencies from effectively engaging with private health providers to assure and improve care.The private health sector plays a critical role in developing countries, as it often provides a large share of all care. In most countries, it is impossible to improve health services and products without engaging the private sector, and without this engagement health outcomes stagnate. Yet, policy makers and aid agencies often overlook this, preferring to stick with familiar approaches to health goals -- grounded in public agencies and public services. This ingrained public-sector-centrism undermines program effectiveness and sustainability.Using case studies from Bangladesh's tuberculosis program to Estonia's contracted primary care, to Brazil's hospital public-private partnerships, this book gives examples of how policy makers and aid agencies are making efforts to involve the private sector in their health systems. Building from these examples, this book explores the implications for the kind of development assistance that is necessary to be more effective in supporting these initiatives.This book is an invaluable resource for policy makers, analysts, economists, and development specialists looking to improve programs, policies, and systems and leverage all of the resources in low- and middle-income countries to advance public health.

Download or read book Private Sector Engagement in Public Health Systems written by Rafael Cortez and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the literature review was to provide evidence on private health sector engagement globally, with a specific focus on the South Caucasus. The analysis focused on private sector engagement through the lens of policy dialogue, information sharing, regulation, financing, and private sector provision, including performance and private sector engagement modalities. Results showed that the private sector in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia is heterogenous. Regulation aimed to increase health coverage with quality services and increase the institutional capacity of the Ministries of Health to collect and analyze data to know better how the private health sector operates and promote private-public partnership to respond to public health challenges. The creation of an autonomous health superintendence would help improve the performance of the private sector: overseeing and supervising the service delivery of private providers and ensuring a strong regulatory environment within countries with high levels of out-of-pocket payments. This entity should enforce transparent behaviors of doctor practices, licensing of physicians, and accreditation of private providers. In addition, the South Caucasus countries can adopt a mix of payment systems with private providers and establish arrangements that ensure a strong private-public partnership (PPP) in health through well-defined contracts. Health facilities with management autonomy should also ensure quality-based purchasing. PPPs would be an optimal way for the South Caucasus to engage with the private sector. Political will, legislative environments and regulatory frameworks, transparency, public sector capacity, complete and flexible contracts, and broad stakeholder engagement are essential conditions to expand PPPs. Learning from best practices globally and expanding research on how health systems create and regulate mixed public-private services are also essential to improve quality, equity, and efficiency of these systems, as countries work to achieve universal health coverage.

This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public health emergencies continually reinforce the need for an integrated approach to health systems strengthening, underpinned by a public health approach, helping to build health systems resilience. As part of a collaboration between the USAID Office of the Health Systems and the WHO Integrated Health Services Department, a strategic meeting was convened on 14 April 2021. This had wide-ranging representation which included WHO Deputy Director-General, Executive leadership from USAID, IANPHI and WFPHA. The overarching aim was to examine this topic together and identify actionable steps to build an integrated approach to health system strengthening that brings together health security, humanitarian, disease-specific and life-course-specific programmes. The specific objectives of the meeting were to: facilitate strategic discussions on prevailing practices in health systems resilience for health protection and high-quality health services, to determine actionable next steps for global guidance; inform policy options for WHO, USAID and partners to maximize joint country support for health systems resilience; and identify immediate priorities for next steps following the meeting. To inform and support the proceedings of this meeting, complementary desk reviews were conducted to synthesise evidence, and inform the discussions and way forward. Together, this package consists of (i) a technical meeting report and (ii) two complementary desk reviews. The package was co-developed with and has received concurrence from the USAID Office of the Health Systems.
Download or read book The private sector in health service delivery an operational definition written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief outlines an operational definition of the private sector in health service delivery, developed in collaboration with the WHO's Technical Advisory Group on the Governance of the Private Sector for Universal Health Coverage. The absence of a common definition was recognized as a challenge, potentially leading to an underestimation of the private health sector's impact on health systems. The private sector encompasses various subcomponents, including direct provision of health care, management of health care institutions, manufacturing of health care goods, and financing of health care. The focus of this definition is on private sector entities involved in service delivery.
