| description |
Health systems across Africa are in
urgent need of improvement. The public sector should not be
expected to shoulder the burden of directly providing the
needed services alone, nor can it, given the current
realities of African health systems. Therefore to achieve
necessary improvements, governments will need to rely more
heavily on the private health sector. Indeed, private
providers already play a significant role in the health
sector in Africa and are expected to continue to play a key
role, and private providers serve all income levels across
sub- Saharan Africa's health systems. The World Health
Organization (WHO) and others have identified improvements
in the way governments interact with and make use of their
private health sectors as one of the key ingredients to
health systems improvements. Across the African region, many
ministries of health are actively seeking to increase the
contributions of the private health sector. However,
relatively little is known about the details of engagement;
that is, the roles and responsibilities of the players, and
what works and what does not. A better understanding of the
ways that governments and the private health sector work
together and can work together more effectively is needed.
This Report assesses and compares the ways in which African
governments are engaging with their private health sectors.
Engagement is defined, for the purposes of this report, to
mean the deliberate, systematic collaboration of the
government and the private health sector according to
national health priorities, beyond individual interventions
and programs. With effective engagement, one of the main
constraints to better private sector contributions can be
addressed, which in turn should improve the performance of
health systems overall. |
