Public private partnership (PPP) For more than two decades public-private partnerships have been used to finance health infrastructure. Governments may look to the PPP-model to solve larger problems in healthcare delivery . A health services PPP can be described as a long-term contract (typically 15–30 years) between a public-sector authority and one or more private sector companies operating as a legal entity.
Cont.… The government provides purchasing power, outlines goals for an optimal health system, and contracts private enterprise to innovate, build, maintain or manage the delivery of agreed-upon services over the term of the contract . The larger scope of health PPPs to manage and finance care delivery and infrastructure means a larger potential market for private organizations.
