Cambodia - Current Situation Poor health, but steady improvements

Private Out of Pocket (OOP) is main source of financing

80% of population treated in private facilities

Good examples of government & private collaboration to increase access & quality for priority health services

Indonesia – Current Situation

Private sector provides ¾ of all health services

½ of all financing for health is private

“Dual practice” by government clinical staff

Decentralization has led to financing challenges within the national delivery system

Self-treatment for simple ailments is common

Philippines – Current Situation Private health expenditure > than government

expenditure

Poor most often seek healthcare from informal sector: shops, friends, and relatives

Pharmaceutical sales = 46.6% of THE

Strong national leadership + well-managed national health insurance program = foundation for collaboration

Key Message 1: The private sector is pervasive and has been filling the gap in EAP for some time

What’s wrong with the current situation?

The private sector is often unqualified, usually unregulated, overservices or provides ineffective care

And… out-of pocket payment (OOPS) is regressive and penalizes poor.

Key Message 2: Government engagement, let alone "stewardship“, is very limited.

“Stewardship Lite”

But there is opportunity now to review and strengthen.

Page 17: The Role of Non State Providers in Child Health in East Asia and the Pacific Dr Abby Bloom Sydney Medical School & Menzies Health Policy Inst Nossal Global.

Key Message 3: There are already very impressive examples of private sector initiatives contributing to the health of children:

Cambodia Indonesia Philippines, Vietnam, Fiji, etc.

Page 18: The Role of Non State Providers in Child Health in East Asia and the Pacific Dr Abby Bloom Sydney Medical School & Menzies Health Policy Inst Nossal Global.

Key Message 4: There is a very broad menu of mechanisms from which Government can choose.

Options are much greater than is generally considered – and

Most are much easier, and less risky, than traditional “PPPs”, and

Have much greater impact on the poor and on equity.

Page 19: The Role of Non State Providers in Child Health in East Asia and the Pacific Dr Abby Bloom Sydney Medical School & Menzies Health Policy Inst Nossal Global.

Key Message 5: Government must answer 3 questions:

1. What are we trying to achieve?

Lower infant mortality? Build and equip new hospitals? Replace inefficient work practices? Improve equity????

2. What options have been proven to achieve these objectives?

Look at the long list of options available – and choose the ones that are likely to have the outcomes Government wants for poor children.

3. What is our country’s capacity to support these initiatives and mechanisms?

To engage and manage the private sector for the "public good"? What is our capacity for stewardship? Are we ready now? If not, what can we do to be ready to manage

technical, financial and economic risks?

Ex: Review & revise legislation, regulations and funding (Mongolia, Vietnam, Indonesia)

Ex: This Workshop: bringing together stakeholders, including Ministries of Finance and NSPs, not just MOH, to consider strategies.
