Download or read book Public Private Partnerships in Health Care in India written by A. Venkat Raman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-11-19 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public-private partnerships are increasingly advocated to alleviate deficiencies in the public health system as well as to reduce economic stress on those who seek services from an expensive, burgeoning and unregulated private health sector. Focusing on India, this book examines how the private sector in developing countries is tapped to deliver health care services to poor and under-served sections of society through collaborative arrangements with the government. Having emerged as a key reform initiative, aspects of public-private partnership are examined such as the genesis of private sector partnerships, the ways in which the private sector is encouraged to deliver public health services, and the models and formats that make such partnerships possible. Based on in-depth case studies from different states of India and drawing on experiences in other countries, the authors analyse challenges, opportunities and benefits of implementing public-private partnerships and explore whether partnership with the private sector can be designed to deliver health care services to the poor as well as the consequences for beneficiaries. This book will be of interest to scholars of public policy and development administration, health policy and development economics as well as South Asian Studies.

This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Neo-liberal economic policies in 1980's lead to emergence of Pubic-private Partnerships. The PPP became most popular after health sector reforms in developing countries. Many state governments in India adapted PPP policies to enhance the efficiency and quality of services in health sector. The partnership formed between Government of Karnataka (GOK) and Karuna Trust is also one of the successful model since 1996. This book tries to analyses the partnership between the GOK and Karuna trust in delivering primary health care. A honest attempt is made to address some of the fundamental questions such as, what made GOK to contract out the primary health centres to NGO? How the model is implemented? and also evaluates current functioning of the model from the perspectives of providers and beneficiaries. Success of the partnership also depends on the sustainability, so researcher also tried to understand how model is sustainable. The study tries to draw conclusion and make some valuable recommendations for future PPP policies and to provide an insight to researchers, academicians and policy makers in social sector.
Download or read book Improving Health and Education Service Delivery in India through Public Private Partnerships written by Anouj Mehta and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2010-08-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public–private partnerships (PPPs) have shown their ability to meet some of the challenges in the health and education sectors both in India and overseas. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been assisting the Government of India since 2006 to develop PPPs across sectors in India, through a programmatic joint PPP Initiative, Mainstreaming PPPs in India. Under the initiative, a special task team of the ADB, together with the Government of India's Ministry of Finance and KPMG consultants undertook a rapid assessment study to develop possible PPP solutions for meeting the challenges of India's health and education sectors. Assessments of local PPP projects in the sector, consultations with state government officials in India, and best practice examples from the United Kingdom and other countries, have led to the development of this report. This report will therefore provide a quick guide to international and national PPP cases in the sectors as well as practical ideas and suggested models to interested project sponsors, especially within government bodies responsible for sector development. Development of possible PPP projects based on some of the models and ideas suggested herewith will hopefully spur investment and efficiency gains in health and education infrastructure and service delivery mechanisms of the country.
Download or read book Health Care Delivery in Urban India written by A. R Dubey and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public health services, which reduce a population's exposure to disease through such measures as sanitation and vector control, are an essential part of a country's development infrastructure. For various reasons, mostly of political economy, public fund for health services in India have been focused largely on medical services, and public health services have been neglected. This is reflected in a virtual absence of modern public health regulations, and of systematic planning and delivery of public health services (Dasgupta, 2006). With growing urban population and urban poverty, it is imperative that health concerns of the large urban poor are addressed. Government fiscal constraints, together with the need for expansion and augmentation of curative and tertiary facility for providing public health services have been some of the key drivers underlying the recent growth of public private partnership in the health sector in most developing countries. The public private partnership in health sector is likely to improve the delivery of health care services besides development and management of health infrastructure more efficiently. Against this view point, present paper purports to review the health care delivery in urban India and examining the role of public private partnership in health sector.
Download or read book Public Private Partnerships in Health Services in India written by Santosh Kumar and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public-private partnerships in the domain of public service delivery have become hallmark ever since India opened its economy to the global market. This has been the case particularly with health services, both in urban and rural areas. India's southern state of Andhra Pradesh is implementing the Aarogyasri (health services) programme which is very popular with the masses. In this mode of health services delivery, corporate hospitals handle the biggest share of the cases. Unfortunately, there is no provision for day-to-day services (out patient) which in fact could have made this programme all encompassing. The focus on tertiary healthcare to the exclusion of all other forms of medical assistance leads to an inefficient medical care model with lesser impact on meeting the needs of majority of the people. There is need for a debate on the healthcare and techno-commercial performance of the programme, especially if it is going to be copied by other states and even by the centre in introducing some form of universal healthcare under the National Rural Health Mission. The scheme aims to provide medical care for BPL families up to a value of 0.2 million (Indian National Rupees) per annum for tertiary surgical and medical treatment of serious ailments, which, in turn, will help them from excessive private borrowing. The scheme is run by a public-private partnership called the Aarogyasri Health Care Trust between Star Health and Allied Insurance, the corporate hospitals and state agencies. This partnership has, however, come to an end in early March 2013. Medical and health services in the private sector are unregulated and where obstetrics is the single largest specialization. The present study is of exploratory in nature and will try to assess the dimensions of PPPs in the health sector where public funding is mostly poor. It will also explain the impact of collaborations on the general reach of health services in the state of Andhra Pradesh where the government's role has virtually become defunct.

Book excerpt: Under the joint initiative of the Government of India and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), "Mainstreaming PPPs in India," ADB supports state public–private partnership (PPP) cells in several challenging sectors in state-specific activities to arrive at possible PPP structures. In Maharashtra, ADB supported the Department of Urban Development and Water Supply and Sanitation to develop possible PPP structures in the water supply and sanitation sector. After studying possible PPP structures, their applicability in the context of selected sample cities were assessed leading to the development of proposed term sheets, which were identified as suitable and feasible for implementation. This tool kit is expected to assist the relevant public entities in Maharashtra state for developing PPP-based projects in water supply and sanitation, and may also be used as reference by similar other cities across the country.
Download or read book Asian Development Outlook 2014 written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 767 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Asian Development Outlook 2014 projects that developing Asia's growth will increase from 6.1% in 2013 to 6.2% in 2014 and 6.4% in 2015. Moderating growth in the People's Republic of China as its economy adjusts to more balanced growth will offset to some extent the stronger demand expected from the industrial countries as their economies recover. Risks to the outlook have eased and are manageable. The monetary policy shift in the United States may invite some volatility ahead in financial markets, albeit mitigated by accommodative monetary policy in Japan and the euro area. The regional growth outlook depends on continued recovery in the major industrial economies and on the People's Republic of China managing to contain internal credit growth smoothly. Widening income gaps in developing Asia strengthens the case for greater use of fiscal policy to foster equality of opportunity. While the region has benefited from fiscal prudence in the past, demographic and environmental challenges are expected to compete for public resources in the coming years. To boost public spending on equity-enhancing programs such as education and health without undermining fiscal sustainability, the authorities will need to explore a wide range of options for mobilizing revenue and to build equity objectives into their fiscal plans.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This discussion paper brings together evidence and experience from around the world focusing on making health systems more gender responsive.

The paper uses a framework that combines WHO's six building blocks for health systems and the primary health care reforms propounded in the World Health Report 2008 on primary health care. Furthermore, the paper provides examples of what has worked and how, and ends with an agenda for action to strengthen the work of policy-makers, their advisers and development partners as well as practitioners as they seek to integrate gender equality perspectives into health systems strengthening, including primary health care (PHC) reforms.
