• All the domiciliary deliveries (TBAs)
Perceived disadvantages of the public sector
• Interminable wait in dirty surroundings• Hordes of patients• All medicines and all tests not available• Doctors attend to more that 100
patients/OPD (Avg. 1 min/patient)• 30% patients have to pay bribes/influence
doctors to attend to them well/on priority
State of the private health sector• 20 years ago private sector dominated by
solo practitionerssmall nursing homes and hospitals
• Many charitable trusts/religious organizationsdelivering exemplary quality of health careservices
• As medicine increasingly driven by technology,such smaller organizations not able to competewith large corporations – five star hospitals withforeign trained doctors
State of the private health sectorWorld Bank Report:• Private sector dominates health care • Inadequate legislations and failure to enforce
regulations are contributing to poor quality of medical services.
• No laws regulating geographical distribution of health & Type of technology to be made available
Kerala Govt 1994:• This state govt. has no control over private
hospitals/ nursing homes functioning in this stateat present as there is no legislation now for thispurpose.
State of the private health sector• 40% sell property /borrow for treatment
• Suspicion that unnecessary tests & surgical procedures are performed
• IMA consistently opposes any kind of regulation.
• Few actions against doctors violating code of ethics by MCI
• Maharashtra Medical Council unable to produce record of actions taken against erring doctors
• Substandard, understaffed Medical Colleges not having own hospital recognized
State of the private health sector Report of committee set up by the High Court
• Majority of nursing homes are substandard, most being housed in tiny flatlets (some under 200 square feet in area)
• one-seventh of them are in sheds or lofts in slums
• 77% do not have scrub rooms
• less than one-third have qualified nurses
• some have operating theatres less than 5 sq m in area
• some do not disinfect the operating theatre more than once a week, some every three days and hardly any after each operation
State of the private health sector• none of the nursing homes dispose biomedical waste
correctly
• a majority of them claim to be maternity homes, but only one-third have labour rooms
• 38% of wards and 50% of beds are dirty and poorly lit
• none of the nursing homes keep records of notifiable diseases, and only 10% record births and deaths
• hardly any nursing homes display their licences prominently.

high prices (S. Chakarborty IIM Lucknow)
State of the private health sectorWHO Bulletin 2005 Prata
• Private sector delivery of PH care poorly regulated.

Private Sector and NRHMStrategies
(a) Core Strategies
• Promoting non – profit sector particularly in under served areas
(b) Supplementary Strategies• Regulation of Private Sector including the informal rural
practitioners to ensure availability of quality service to citizens at reasonable cost
• Promotion of PPP for achieving public health goals
• Effective and viable risk pooling and social health insurance to provide health security to the poor by ensuring accessible, affordable, accountable & good quality hospital care
Plan of ActionComponent (H): PPP for Public Health Goals, including regulation of private sector
• Since 75% of health services are being currently provided by the private sector, there is a need to refine regulation
• Regulation to be transparent and accountable• Reform of regulatory bodies/creation where
necessary• District Institutional mechanism for Mission must
have representation of private sector
Plan of Action cont.
• Need to develop guidelines for PPP inhealth sector. Identifying areas ofpartnership, which are need based,thematic and geographic
• Public sector to play the lead role indefining the framework and sustaining thepartnership
• Management plan for PPP initiatives: atDistrict/State and National levels
EXISTING SCENARIO OF PPP in NRHM• MOHFW evolved guidelines for PPP in National Health
Programmes like RNTCP, NBCP, NLEP, RCH, IDSP etc.• Under the RCH II several initiatives proposed to
strengthen social-franchising initiatives• Contractual appointments and hiring of PPs• Handing over the mgmt. of public sector health facilities• Pvt. Sector/ industry providing health care to tribals• Contracting services in diet &catering, laundry, security
and IEC Programmes.• GOI constituted a Technical Advisory Group, consisting
of officials of GOI, development partners and otherstakeholders to conceptualize strategies.
PPP IN THE HEALTH SECTOR• Contracting in-government hires individual on a
temporary basis to provide services
• Contracting out- government pays outsideindividual to mange a specific function
• Subsidies-government gives funds to privategroups to provide specific services
• Leasing or rentals-government offers the useof its facilities to a private organization
• Privatization-government gives or sells a publichealth facility to a private group
POTENTIAL AREAS FOR PARTNERSHIP• Services, disease control and surveillance,
diagnostics and medicines.
• Infrastructure
• Health manpower
• Behaviour change communication
• Capacity building including training andsystems development.
• Managerial service and auxiliary activitiesof the health sector
Models for Partnership• Contracting :Contracting out, Contracting-in• Franchising: Partial franchising, Full
franchising & Branded clinics• Social marketing• Joint ventures• Voucher schemes• Hospital autonomy• Partnership with corporate sector/
industrial houses
Models for Partnership cont.• Involving professional associations• Build, operate and transfer• Donation & philanthropic contributions• Involvement of social groups• Partnership with co-operative societies• Partnership for capacity building• Partnership with non-profit community-based
organizations• Running mobile health units• Community based health insurance
Urban Health Task ForceMOHFW to document the best practices,
lessons learnt and experiences of PPP for
• better planning & implementation of
programmes on health of the urban poor
• sharing the same with States and other
stakeholders to enable them to effectively
initiate and implement PPP
Involving NGOS• NGOs to be involved in the planning and
implementation of the urban healthprojects.
• Situational analysis identification andmapping of slums
• Management of urban health centres• Supporting outreach clinics and linkage of
service with slum community• Community organization, identifying and
training link workers &IEC/BCC activities
Public Private PartnershipA. In cities where first tier public health infrastructure
available:partnership with NGOs for enhancing utilization ofexisting services through identification and training LinkVolunteers, and IEC/BCC activities
B. In cities where no public sector first tier facility available:Entire first tier service delivery contracted out through partnership.
C. PPs could be engaged on part-time basis for 1st & 2nd
tier facilities.
D. 2nd tier services ( laparoscopic tubal ligation and no-scalpel vasectomy ) and diagnostic services may beoutsourced on reimbursement basis.
Mechanisms for PPPSpecific requirements for evolving appropriate PPPs at the state and district levels :
• Guidelines on ‘How-to’ develop partnerships.�• Sample ToR and MoU
• � Screening criteria for selection of appropriate partners
• � Protocols for enabling and ensuring proper quality ofcare at the facility
• Financial mechanisms and fund flow
Possible areas of partnerships • Providing PH care services – mgmt of 1st tier health facilities
• Provision of 24 hour maternity services
• Sterilization services and mobilization of male partners
• Diagnostics
• Identification, training of Link Volunteers for BCC
• Referral transport facility
• Contracting out of vulnerable areas for all services
• Independent evaluations
• Mapping of slums and facilities and Situational Analysis of the city
Possible partners in urban areas • Professional associations (e.g. IMA, IAP,
FOGSI etc.)
• � NGOs and Charitable Organizations
• � CBOs and Self Help Groups etc.
• � Charitable Hospitals
• � Health practitioners and Nursing Homes
• � Medical Colleges
• � Corporate sector
