Ethiopia health private sector assessment

Abstract

The Global Financing Facility (GFF) in Support of Every Woman Every Child is a country driven partnership that aims to accelerate efforts to end preventable maternal, newborn, child and adolescent deaths and improve the health and quality of life of women, adolescents and children. The GFF is supporting the Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Health (MOH)’s efforts to collaborate with the private sector as a strategy to address health priorities and system gaps confronting the Ethiopian health sector. GFF agreed to support the MOH to conduct a private sector assessment (PSA) as a first step in a longer process to engage the private health sector. A PSA can play an instrumental role in generating sound data on the private health sector to guide MOH policy and planning and create a “road map” to harness private sector resources
