Public-private partnerships and global health equity: prospects & challenges

This paper examines the viability of public-private partnerships for improving global health equity and highlights some key prospects and challenges.

The focus is on global health partnerships and excludes domestic public-private mechanisms such as the state contracting out publicly-financed health delivery or management responsibilities to private partners. The paper is intended to stimulate further debate on the implications of public-private partnerships for global health equity.
