SAVE THE DATE: Join us on Nov 19 for a workshop on the governance of private sector healthcare with the World Health Organization and leading academic and policy experts. 

The private sector plays a substantial role in delivering and financing health care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) representing a complex mix of opportunities and threats to public health goals. The session will explore ways of supporting governments to govern the private sector effectively through:

  • presenting the state of evidence base,

  • introducing a progression pathway providing clear guidance on managing private sector contributions effectively, and, 

  • an interactive workshop where participants will apply the progression pathway to country contexts and contribute to the tool’s evolution as well as to the future research agenda.
