In the next installment of the on-going series, “New Visions for Improving Health Care in the Developing World,” Results for Development (R4D) and the Global Health Council (GHC) will consider the advantages and pitfalls of the private sector’s involvement in healthcare. Health systems require strong public and private actors, and this session will consider how policy makers can incentivize private sector actors to help meet national health system goals. The presentations will include the findings of in-country analyses of the private health sector in Africa, indicators for gauging the state of the private sector in Africa and the role of donors in facilitating private sector participation in healthcare delivery.

Panelists include:

• Connor P. Spreng, Economist, World Bank Group Investment Climate Department   
• Marty Makinen, Managing Director, Results for Development Institute
• Lily Dorment, Associate, Rockefeller Foundation
• Shyami DeSilva, Private Sector Advisor, Office of HIV/AIDS, Bureau for Global Health, USAID

Gina Lagomarsino, a Managing Director of the Results for Development Institute will moderate the session.
The session will take place from 2-3:30 pm on April 28th at the Global Health Council. If you would like to attend, please RSVP to rsvp@globalhealth.org
