“Engaging with health markets is going to be critical for governments in the future, especially given the recent UN resolution,” notes Sara Bennett, referring to a UN resolution urging countries to work towards affordable Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Many country governments will need to purchase services from both public and private providers to achieve UHC. At the same time governments need to guard against arrangements that enable powerful stakeholders to consolidate their position in a health system that provides ineffective services at an unnecessarily high cost. Policy-makers, entrepreneurs, academics and funders convened in Bellagio, Italy, in December 2012 to explore this tension. The result was the Bellagio Statement on the Future of Health Markets (http://bit.ly/XFrN4X). To broaden the conversation, participants in the Bellagio meeting are holding a roundtable webinar. The webinar will be chaired by Dr Sara Bennett from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, who convened the session in Bellagio. Discussants include: Kelechi Ohiri, Senior Special Adviser to the Honourable Minister of State for Health in Nigeria; Kwasi Boahene, Director Advocacy & Program Development at the Health Insurance Fund; and Sikder Zakir, Founder of the Telemedicine Reference Center Ltd. (TRCL); Guy Stallworthy, Senior Program Officer at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; & Dr Allan Pamba, Director Public Engagement & Access Initiatives at GSK. An initial presentation will help set the scene, outlining the background to the meeting as well as highlighting key points from the resultant statement. Following the introduction, the discussants will offer their reactions to and commentary on the Bellagio Statement. The webinar will then shift to a ‘fishbowl’ format, where the speakers and other participants at the meeting will have an open discussion on some of the main topics from Bellagio. The webinar will wrap up with a question and answer session for all.

Khf presentation lessons learnt 1.3.0

Andy_Watt

This document summarizes lessons learned from the Private Sector Innovation Programme for Health (PSP4H) in Kenya. Some key points include: - PSP4H uses a market systems approach to improve healthcare access and value for low-income consumers in the private sector. - There are opportunities for private healthcare businesses to expand by targeting the large informal employment market. - Interventions should leverage and work with existing networks to achieve scale and sustainability. - A focus on healthcare businesses and providing business skills training is important for success and sustainability. - Understanding regulations, mapping the sector, and forming public-private partnerships are also essential aspects of the approach.

Clinical Social Franchising: Organizing private healthcare providers to addre...

The past decade has seen a growing appreciation of the importance of private healthcare providers as the first, and often only, source of healthcare in many countries. This has led to a range of interventions aimed at engaging these providers to deliver standardized public health goods and services. One partnership modality, called clinical social franchising, applies commercial principles to achieve this goal. In 2012, 74 clinical social franchising programs were operational in 40 countries. The programmes included networks of 66,000+ providers that delivered franchised clinical and health services for family planning; maternal, newborn and child health; and to diagnose and treat TB, malaria and/or HIV. Millions of people received services. The scale and overall health impact of these programs is documented in the Clinical Social Franchising Compendium, 2013 (http://bit.ly/10nVT25). This approach to engaging private purveyors of health and clinical services is gaining traction worldwide. The evidence base for this approach is also increasing, with studies now addressing health impact, quality of care, new usership of formal medical services, cost-effectiveness and equity. This webinar will explain how clinical social franchising works, how it is being adapted in different countries and the evidence for its relevance as a public health approach.

Chukwuma Onyeije, MD, FACOG

MHEALTH 1) mHealth has the potential to improve healthcare delivery through increased efficiency, access to information, and ability to positively impact patient behavior and health outcomes. 2) However, mHealth faces many barriers to widespread adoption including resistance from entrenched healthcare providers and systems, lack of incentives for different stakeholders, and performance issues with many early mHealth applications. 3) For mHealth to succeed, applications must address important healthcare pain points, have a validated product, and a detailed adoption plan that engages key decision makers and addresses barriers within the complex healthcare system. Widespread adoption may take many years.
