dc.description.abstractThere is growing concern that health care provided in the private sector is not always of high technical quality. Given the need to work with the private sector to increase access to services, various strategies have been proposed that governments can employ to engage the private sector in service provision. These include regulation, contracting, financing and social marketing, training, and coordination. These interventions are generally applied in combination to reach two important goals: (1) improving the quality of care delivered by existing service pro- viders; and (2) expanding the coverage of private sector services and rationalising this coverage with that of public sector provi- ders. However, there is a paucity of systematic reviews on the effects of these interventions on the quality and accessibility of private for-profit health care in low and middle-income countries.en_ZA
