Sixty percent of health consultations in Vietnam are made in the private
sector; 53% in Kenya; 85% in India. Yet most international public health
assistance is channeled exclusively through governments, even where governments
reach less than 20% of the population. This course will serve doctoral-level
students intending to conduct research, policy work, or program implementation
around health services in developing countries. Topics covered will include
definition and typology of private provider sector in various countries;
theories of private sector regulation, motivation, and research; methodological
and practical issues in measuring provider importance, quality, and in
influencing the activities of actors in private health delivery will be
explored from viewpoints of both research and programmatic intervention.
