Who picks up the bill when a national health system can no longer meet demand on government funding alone? That question is now central to health policy almost everywhere, as rising costs and an ageing, growing population put unsustainable pressure on public budgets while the private sector holds resources, efficiency and capacity that remain under-used.

This Training Course by the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy gives participants a working grasp of how public-private partnership can answer that question — the models, legal frameworks, financing mechanisms and governance structures that let both sectors share the cost and responsibility of sustaining healthcare for citizens, without compromising quality or accountability.

Who Should Attend?

• Managers and heads of departments in health facilities.
• Health supervisors and monitoring personnel.
• Managers and owners of private and public institutions.

• Anyone seeking to build their capabilities in this field.
