Public Private Partnership in Health Services Management

The book is devoted to delve in the nature,
motives, models, contribution and
benefits of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) in
health service delivery in 1 Municipal and 1
District Council in Tanzania by using the
stakeholder theory within the PPP analytical
framework. The emerging conclusions are that: the
nature and motives for PPPs are centred
on the need to share scarce resources in order to
improve public health through models ranging from
simple collaborations to joint ventures. However
despite limitations in the initiation and
management of collaborations, the results of PPPs
are significantly positive for all stakeholders.
The establishment of strong regulatory framework, a
unit for technical support, more decentralisation
of resources, and push for more advanced models of
PPPs are some of the future challenges
