| Summary: | The role of private enterprise in
healthcare is to complement and support improvements to
public healthcare, not to supplant it. Private providers are
the primary source of care for the world’s poorest people
and their record is often as good as or better than that of
public providers. As low and middle-income economies grow
and resources become more widely available, competition and
consumer choice offer substantial potential to improve the
reach, quality, and efficiency of both private and public provision. |
