Abstract

Successive Ministers of Health have been cautious about giving more independence to public hospitals in Uganda. Would greater autonomy improve standards? Research by Uganda’s Makerere University and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine addresses this question by comparing the performance of public and private not-for-profit (PNFP) hospitals in Uganda.
