This document introduces a collaboratively developed study protocol to identify what data and information is currently being collected by governments and how this is used for governance of the private sector in health. As part of inclusive health policy, ‘situational awareness’ and the generation of intelligence is needed by governments on the private sector in health. To perform specific governance functions, such as contracting, more explicit information on the private sector is required. This study responds to recommendations from the private sector landscaping undertaken as part of the WHO strategy report “Engaging the private health service delivery sector through governance in mixed health systems”.

Dual practice, the combination of public and private practice in the same or different sites, is ubiquitous in most national health systems. Within the literature, there has been more focus on the dual practice of physicians and specialists, although nurses, midwives and other health workers also engage in the practice. The adverse consequences of dual practice for universal health care vary by context, and evidence is largely descriptive and fails to quantify and analyse its effects. Governance response also remains inherently contextual and varies by level of implementation intensity and capacity. Overall, the effects of different governance tools in response to dual practice remain unexplored in the literature. Studies do not elicit much insight into the process of policy reform in response to dual practice.

Moreover, there is a consideration of public accountability. The unique significance of this collection of national studies involving the public/private sector mix of healthcare services and/or finances is that it provides insights into the factors that enhance the public/private sector mix in fulfilling the goals of health equity and the quality of healthcare services as well as an understanding of the circumstances in which elements of the public/private sector mix may be harmful for the achievement of such goals in a variety of national settings.

This edited collection focuses on the global growth of privatisation and private sector medicine in both developed and lesser developed countries, and the impact of this on patients, health workers, managers and policy-makers. Drawing upon sociological theories, concepts and insights, as well as experts from several countries with extensive experience in researching the field either nationally or internationally, the collection offers a unique perspective on healthcare services and healthcare systems: a view from those trying to access healthcare services, working inside health systems, or responsible for managing and organising services. Collectively, the chapters contribute an international perspective on the navigation of healthcare systems, and addresses the growing salience of ‘choice’ between public and private medicine in a variety of different national systems and contexts.
