New post-COVID opportunities and challenges for private sector contribution to universal health coverage – Thematic Working Group on the Private Sector

In response to COVID many country governments and private providers have established innovative approaches for meeting pressing health needs and capacity gaps. This has involved new kinds of engagement between government and a variety of private non-state organisations. This interactive session will explore examples from different countries to identify lessons from this experience and challenges to be addressed in future strategies for strengthening mixed health systems.
