>
> Please note that in Bangladesh a "grassroots public private partnership
for
> essential health services" has been developed and working in 41
communities.
> Community members with representatives of 10-13 stakeholder groups have
> established Community Based Health Schemes (CHS) as CBOs and engaged both
> public and private providers who are working together under community
> management and providers-partnership arrangements. In the process
community
> solidarity and addressing the needs of the Poor and Women are promoted. A
> social development framework has been developed towards achieving equity
> (See more information at www.ppp-Bangladesh.org.)
>
> In fact our model contains "people centred" approaches of PPP for "health
> gain" as opposed to conventional "system driven" partnership models to
> promote and retain "existing profit motive Medi care Market". We believe
it
> is important to combat the fast growing free market type western models of
> PPP which for various reason are not applicable and desirable al all for
> developing countries.

> We shall be benefited in joining the PPP circle with others (Bolivia,
India
> and Kenya) mentioned and be willing to work together.
