dc.description.abstractParticipants emphasized the essential role the World Health Organization (WHO) plays in advocating engagement with the private sector and guiding countries in the importance of linking public-private partnership with universal health coverage. A comprehensive assessment conducted by WHO of private sector regulation shows that laws are outdated, enforcement is weak, and rules and regulations are vague. The challenge in a private sector assessment (PSA) is to gather and shape the primary data so it becomes useful. For increased private sector participation, regulation needs to be seen as a ‘facilitating' instrument. Other recommendations are made in this in-depth report.en
