According to "Healthy Partnerships: How Governments Can Engage the Private Sector to Improve Health in Africa" (2010), the private sector share of total health expenditure in Sub-Saharan Africa is on average 51 percent. Use of the private health sector in Africa is particularly strong among groups that policymakers most want to reach, including the poor, women, children, and people with diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The tools presented in this report help readers design strategies and approaches for engaging the private sector in a health system. Topics are organized into five modules outlining specific activities that can expand and tighten private health sector engagement leading to sustainable, pro-poor change. 2016-11-22T19:52:14Z 2016-11-22T19:52:14Z 2013-06-01 Handbook http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/859601478243694324/Private-health-policy-toolkit-for-Africa-tools-for-engaging-the-private-health-sector http://hdl.handle.net/10986/25416 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Other Health Study Economic & Sector Work Africa Sub-Saharan Africa
