Public–Private Partnerships (PPP) in Health Training Course
Introduction
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in health are transforming healthcare delivery systems globally by combining the efficiency, innovation, and investment capacity of the private sector with the equity-driven mandate and regulatory authority of the public sector. In an era marked by rising healthcare demand, constrained public budgets, and the urgent need for Universal Health Coverage (UHC), PPP models are becoming a strategic lever for sustainable health system strengthening, infrastructure development, and service delivery optimization.
Public–Private Partnerships (PPP) in Health Training Course provides a comprehensive, practical, and policy-oriented understanding of PPP frameworks in the health sector. It equips participants with advanced knowledge on contract design, risk-sharing mechanisms, governance structures, financing models, and performance management systems. With a strong focus on health system strengthening, healthcare financing innovation, sustainable development goals (SDGs), and results-based financing, the course prepares professionals to design, implement, and evaluate high-impact PPP health projects across diverse contexts.
