The assessment was conducted in order to establish a baseline of information, to help with political decision-making and provide market information. The private health sector assessment in the Republic of Congo provides a diagnosis of the nature and the effectiveness of the interface between the public and private sectors, establishes a dialogue on policy with stakeholders, and makes recommendations for reform that would bolster public and private involvement. The methodology is based on a supply and demand approach to identify market, policy and institutional barriers, and options for reducing these barriers by changing policies and initiatives. The information pertaining to demand reveals how users perceive private providers and their potential. The information pertaining to supply gives a better understanding of the role that private providers play and the challenges they encounter. The institutional information shows how Congo's institutions have facilitated or hampered the private participation. The study methodology includes the following aspects: (i) presentation of the general context of the private health sector in Congo, (ii) multidimensional analysis of demand, (iii) multidimensional analysis of supply, and (iv) analysis of institutional context. Options for action presented in this report include (i) policy and governance initiatives, (ii) regulatory initiatives, (iii) incentive initiatives, and (iv) concrete measures for public-private partnerships (PPP) in the health sector. 410 0$aInvestment climate in health series. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aMedical policy$zCongo (Brazzaville) 606 $aMedical care$xNeeds assessment$zCongo (Brazzaville) 615 0$aMedical policy 615 0$aMedical care$xNeeds assessment 676 $a330.9675 700 $aMakinen$b William Martin$01500220 701 $aDeville?$b Leo$01500221 712 02$aWorld Bank. 801 0$bNLM 801 1$bNLM 801 2$bBTCTA 801 2$bYDXCP 801 2$bBWX 801 2$bOCP 801 2$bCUZ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bNTD 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785898803321 996 $aAssessment of the private health sector in the Republic of Congo$93726800 997 $aUNINA
