Estimated at Rs. 1,56,000 Cr. in 2012 +Rs. 39,000Cr.. for health insurance (NCMH 2005)

Implications
>80% of health expenditure is out-of-pocket. (NSS 2005; NHA,2004-05)
Debilitating Effects on the poor: Liquidation of assets,
indebtedness. 40% of hospitalized & 2% in the country every year end
up BPL (World Bank, 2001).
Compounded by poor regulation of private sector
A.VENKAT RAMAN FMS-DU 9
Private sector is needed because....
India needs an additional750,000 beds520,000 doctors overall investment of Rs 1,50,000Cr.
80% likely to come from the private sector (NMCH,2005)

EMERGING MODELS
Key Lessons & Challenges in PPP: Indian Experience
A.VENKAT RAMAN FMS-DU 33
Political and Administrative Commitment
Half hearted support for PPPTop officials are enthusiastic, but
success takes them away- leadership vacuum;
Lower level officials suspect PPP as ‘privatization’ or show disdain towards the private provider
A.VENKAT RAMAN FMS-DU 34
Institutional Capacity Need for technical / managerial skills for
designing, negotiating, implementing and monitoring PPP contracts
Develop institutional capacity at all levels, including oversight role.
A.VENKAT RAMAN FMS-DU 35
Policy and Institutional Framework
Lack of policy driven strategy towards PPP in health sector. Need for a PPP policy.
Lack of information on Private sector thus poor regulatory leverage.
No institutional structures to manage PPP contracts. Need for specialized PPP cell in Health Dept.
A.VENKAT RAMAN FMS-DU 36
Social Context of PPPAntipathy or suspicion towards the
private sector and govt’s failure to regulate -raise suspicion.
Unwillingness of ‘civil society’ organisations to explore PPP as an option.
‘Squeamishness’ about profit making in services meant for poor patients
A.VENKAT RAMAN FMS-DU 37
Diversity and Complexity of Private Sector
Private sector is diverse; Predominantly individuals (owner operated units) and from both recognized and unrecognized systems of medicine;
Diversity of tariffs, thus complicating information on cost vs tariff and tariff negotiations
A.VENKAT RAMAN FMS-DU

Process of Contracting : Partner selection
Primarily ‘input’ based contracting rather than outcome based.
(Only) competitively selected partners are less effective.
Priorities of : ◦Govt. Officials: Compulsion of L1 &
Completing procedural formalities. ◦Private Sector: Winning the bid by all means
A.VENKAT RAMAN FMS-DU39
Risk
Financial risk to the private partner- Non-timely release of funds; Fear of enquiry.
Risk of unsuccessful/ failed contract leading to lack of services – patinets suffer, resources wasted.
A.VENKAT RAMAN FMS-DU 40
Enabling conditions for successSuccessful partnerships are contextual.
Enabling conditions include ◦ leadership from both partners; ◦prior consultation; ◦relational / trust based contracting; ◦pilot testing, ◦timely payment; ◦periodic review and amendments / revision of
contract; ◦specific performance indicators…..
A.VENKAT RAMAN FMS-DU 41
Key Constraints Payment delaysPersonality styles and trust level Local political interference / political flip-flapsNon-revision of contract clauses (Tariffs) Lack of capacity or willingness to supervise /
monitor / guide the projectPerceptual and attitudinal orientation to
private sectorLack of clarity of the objective of PPP
A.VENKAT RAMAN FMS-DU 42
Limitations in Contract Features
Defining and verifying beneficiaries (BPL patients)- especially high cost services
Defining Quality or Performance or Outcome indicators;
Supervision and Monitoring mechanism;Timely revisions / updating of contract;Ombudsman for dispute settlement;Clarity on user fee
A.VENKAT RAMAN FMS-DU 43
Summary
Public-private partnership (PPP) is not privatization
Government continues to play a key role
Requires high degree of institutional capacity
A.VENKAT RAMAN FMS-DU 44
In conclusion….Public Private Partnership
……does help benefiting the poor. …………one of the pragmatic options for
health service delivery, but not an alternative to public delivery or better governance.
