Resumen
Descripción
This document presents findings from a
study conducted to identify and document ongoing
public-private partnerships (PPPs) for improving access to
quality laboratory services, especially for the poor, in the
East Africa region. The East, Central, and Southern Africa
Health Community (ECSA-HC) coordinated the study along with
the partner states in the East African Community
participating in the World Bank funded East Africa Public
Health Laboratory Networking Project (EAPHLNP). The authors
implemented key informant interviews in Kenya, Rwanda,
Tanzania and Uganda, and analyzed the information gathered
from the interviews which is presented in this report. The
study finds that while there are numerous examples of
public-private collaboration across all four countries, the
number of formals PPPs remains scarce. The most common form
of PPP is placement, whereby privately owned laboratory
equipment in leased by public facilities. Most other
instances of collaboration between public and private
partners, did not meet the formal definition of a PPP. Key
stakeholders from both public and private institutions
showed a keen interest in learning about and setting up
more, diverse kinds of PPPs. The numerous informal and
semi-formal arrangements that currently exist all represent
opportunities for establishing formal PPPs in accordance
with global best practices.
