Achieving universal health coverage
(UHC) in Pakistan, as in most countries, will require
strengthened collaboration between the public and private
sectors, as the public sector often does not have the
flexibility nor the fiscal space to grow service delivery
capacity at sufficient pace and quality. However, successful
partnering with the private sector through various forms of
contracting and service agreements including public-private
partnerships (PPPs), requires the appropriate analysis and
identification of the gaps in service provision. To that
end, this study aims to assist the government of Sindh (GoS)
in identifying opportunities to engage the private health
sector more effectively, to help provide affordable, quality
primary health care (PHC) services to the urban poor whilst
also creating evidence for the better integration of the
private health sector in health service delivery. As part of
the initial phase of this advisory work, and operating
within a limited time-frame and funding environment, this
policy note presents the initial set of observations and
recommendations, based on the information collected via
questionnaires and informant interviews, as well as
secondary data or existing studies. |
