Using public-private partnerships to influence healthcare policy and practice in Bangladesh
A case study exploring the referral process between Private Medical Practitioners and TB diagnosis centres
Abstract
A case study exploring how public-private partnerships are being used to formalise and improve the referral process between Private Medical Practitioners (PMPs) and TB diagnosis centres in Bangladesh. Not only is this model helping to significantly increase TB referral rates among large workforces in garment factories, it is now being scaled up to improve access to family planning services for urban poor populations.
This research is supported by the Department for International Development’s COMDIS – HSD Programme which is led by the University of Leeds
