Abstract:
Around the world, the supply of health services faces challenges, especially in developing nations that suffer from inadequate infrastructure and aging equipment, frequent shortages of medicine and supplies, and low capacity and efficiency of primary health care. At present, more and more governments adopt public-private partner-ships to achieve public policy goals. Among those, Brazil, South Africa, and India have made greater achievements in changing the roles of local government, increasing the supply of primary health care and health care quality, pro-moting health care equality, meeting the needs of multi-level medical services, and promoting health capabilities by using public-private partnerships. This paper provides an overview of public-private partnership practices in the three countries, discusses their reform experiences, and concludes with implications which may be helpful for promoting and scaling up PPP in primary health care in China.
