Public-Private Partnerships for Health in Vietnam: Issues and Options

By Caryn Bredenkamp, Ramesh Govindaraj, Sang Minh Le, et al.

This book describes the nature of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the
health sector in Vietnam. It defines health-related PPPs, describes their
key characteristics, and develops a taxonomy of the different types of PPPs
that exist in practice, illustrated by international examples. It also assesses the
regulatory and institutional framework for the health PPP program in Vietnam,
as well as financing and accountability mechanisms for PPPs at its national
and subnational levels. It provides an overview of the PPP project pipeline in
Vietnam and analyzes important issues in the health PPPs' design,
preparation, and implementation, using eight case studies involving projects
in different phases of the project cycle.

This book also examines barriers that have hampered the successful
design and implementation of health care PPPs in Vietnam. These barriers
may be broadly categorized as barriers in the PPP policy and regulatory
framework, in the public sector, in the private sector, and in the financial
sector. It proposes feasible and actionable recommendations so that the
government can consider tackling the identified barriers and advance the
successful design and implementation of health PPPs.
