Accelerating Access for All Through Sustainable Public & Private Partnerships

Everyday millions of people in low and middle-income countries struggle to access the healthcare they need and many more slip into poverty because of medical care payments. This is a global challenge that affects most of the world’s population at some point in their lives.

COVID-19 has put the spotlight on the weaknesses of health systems across the world. These include a lack of sustainable financing, skilled workforces, access to diagnostics, medical equipment and therapies, and ability to leverage the private sector to support a coordinated response.

Breaking silos between the public, private, academic, and other sectors is crucial to address the world’s most pressing needs and create lasting positive change. When it comes to health and healthcare, engaging stakeholders in new models of public-private collaboration is key to identify and scale up solutions for more resilient, efficient, and equitable healthcare systems to keep populations healthy and deliver the best care.

There needs to be a major shift in the way sectors work together to finance potentially scalable solutions to the development and delivery of quality healthcare and medicines, especially for low-income populations.
