| Course description |
Public private partnerships (PPPs) play a central role in the international trend towards private provision of public services and provide an important international model for reforming health service governance, funding and financing. They involve the private sector more directly in the provision of public services and impact on public services resources and redistibution mechanisms. This course focuses on the significance of PPPs for ownership, financing and management in public service delivery. It will provide a detailed examination of the concepts of partnerships and the methods for their evaluation from a public health perspective. |
