BRINGING EVIDENCE CLOSER TO HEALTHCARE DECISIONS

Course on Public-Private Mix in Health

Public-private partnerships (PPP) are increasingly common in Mexico and the world. In the health sector in particular, they have come to demonstrate a high degree of effectiveness in many ways. In this course, participants will learn about the different models of organization and financing of health systems as well as the efficiency that, in theory, entails private participation in the provision, financing and administration of healthcare services. With the support of examples from several Latin American countries, it will be determined which models, and in what conditions, this public-private mix has created health benefits for the target population.

In a complementary manner, the regulatory framework of public-private partnerships in Mexico will be reviewed. Examples of the last 10 years and their prospective for the different institutions of the healthcare sector in the country will be discussed and analysed.
