Macroeconomic constraints, medical technology developments, changing patterns of disease, demographics and rising public expectations lead us to look further when questioning the sustainability of public health insurance. Public-private partnerships are being increasingly encouraged as a solution proposed by the New Public Management (NPM) in the belief that it stands half-way between public administration and complete privatization. The need to foster such arrangements is supported by a clear understanding of the public sectors inability to provide public goods entirely on their own, in an efficient, effective and equitable manner because of lack of resources and management issues. Discussion of Public-private partnerships in the health sector is important and timely in light of the challenges the public sector is facing in healthcare finance, management, and provision.
This book intends to produce taxonomy of various types of Public-private partnerships in health and to analyze its relation with health care system performance.
