ANNOUNCEMENT
National
Conference
Emerging health
care models: Engaging the private health sector
Centre for
Enquiry into Health and Allied Themes (CEHAT), Mumbai invites papers
for its National Conference on Emerging health care models: Engaging
the private health sector on 25-26 September 2009.
Prelude
In
the past few years, there is gradual shift from mere privatization to
much debated Public Private Partnership (PPP) in health sector. The
partnerships in health are carried out with small-scale independent
providers, non-governmental organizations as well the private
for-profit sector. In last five years or so PPP has increasingly earned
its importance among policy makers, researchers and program
implementers. It has popularly become the buzz word in the discourse on
public policy on health care where PPP health care models are now often
debated an alternative solution to full privatization. However, there
are some questions that need to be looked into: Within these newly
emerging health care models, how does one safeguard Right to Health?
How does the public as well as private sector synergize in working
towards national health goals through these partnerships? How does one
ensure quality and efficiency of the health services? If through
regulatory mechanisms, them what are these?
The
conference
invites papers on any of the following themes:-
1. PPPs as
emerging models in health sector: Benefits and issues of concern.
2. Role of the
state in PPPs and related reforms in policy and legislation.
3. Lack of
regulation in the private sector and its impact on such partnerships.
4. State of
patients rights in the midst of emerging health sector models. (role of
non-state actors private organizations, international agencies, civil
society, Media, etc).
5. PPP and
universal access to health care facilities and equity in health.
