Working with Private Sector Providers for Better Health Care: An Introductory Guide

"Working with Private Sector Providers for Better Health Care: An Introductory Guide" aims to provide the most critical approach to develop strategies for working with Private Sector Participation (PSPs) for better health care. This guide focuses specifically on those PSPs that operate on a for-profit basis, primarily in poorer countries, and that directly interact with service users, supplying them with health care services or products. The guide focuses the facts that PSPs behavior is influenced by policy makers and the people, who use the services. The guide also cites the need for a range of supportive, regulatory and incentive-based mechanisms to facilitate the healthcare system in developing countries. Thus it is an important soft area of the infrastructure, which has been discussed by the authors through this guide.
