A plethora of evidence shows that in India, public-private partnerships have either been rolled back or have led to poor health outcomes.

Recently, government think-tank NITI Aayog came up with a proposal for running district hospitals in public-private partnership (PPP) mode. Under the proposal, new and existing private medical colleges will be linked with functional district hospitals. According to sources, the proposal is open to public comments till February 10, 2020.

There are proposals with regard to user fees, differential rates for beds under regulated and market beds and change in terms of employment of health staff. There will be different categories of patients and those with a certificate from a district health authority will be considered as free patients. The rest will be charged, sometimes heavily, for medical treatment.

This proposal goes against the plethora of evidence in India which shows that PPPs in health sector have not worked, led to poor health outcomes and created distress among the local population. In fact, there are ample examples where governments have rolled back PPP and taken it over as a public health facility.
