| Summary: | This note highlights the wide variation
in performance on key indicators: unaccounted-for water,
labor costs, the working ratio, service coverage, water
prices and connection costs, and continuity of service. As
governments struggle with rising health care costs,
public-private partnerships in constructing and managing
public hospitals can provide innovative ways to control
costs and improve service. Experience shows that such
partnerships offer significant benefits as long as
policymakers structure the transactions carefully and create
sound regulatory arrangements to ensure universal access,
quality care, and improvements in efficiency. |
