Series: ADB's SECURE Webinar Series SECURE Webinar 20: Public Private Partnerships (PPP) in Health Care: Exploring Challenges and Opportunities in Asia and the Pacific 20 February 2025 Public-private partnerships (PPP) in the health sector are pivotal to enhancing Uzbekistan's health infrastructure and service delivery. The country's health system faces challenges, including the need for upgradation of infrastructure, limited accessibility to health care in rural areas, and limited availability of healthcare human resources. PPPs offer a viable solution by leveraging private sector financing, investment, expertise, and innovation. The adoption of PPP projects helps enhance cost-efficiency and sustainability in the sector. By leveraging private sector efficiencies, governments can optimize resource utilization and reduce the financial burden on the public sector. These partnerships also foster the transfer of skills and knowledge, contributing to the capacity of local healthcare professionals. As global experience has shown, PPPs can help ensure that health care services are not only accessible but also high-quality and patient-centered. This webinar explored the role of PPPs in health care, shared best practices and lessons learned, and discussed the opportunities and challenges associated with implementing PPP projects in the sector.
