Abstract
In many countries, the public sector is unable to meet certain social needs such as universal health coverage (UHC) due to its lack of resources, administrative roadblocks, and management issues. Thus, UHC—a scenario where a wide spectrum of people obtains the needed health services without having to suffer financial hardships—becomes a challenging development goal.
The Philippine government has turned to public-private partnerships (PPPs) as among its strategies to move toward UHC. This Policy Note presents the different PPP options for financing and delivering health-care services. It also provides a guide for selecting PPPs for implementation and discusses the things to consider in order for PPPs to thrive.
