Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in Health and Long-term Care in China

Wednesday, October 10, 2018 | 5:00 PM -Wednesday, October 10, 2018 | 6:00 PM

The event has reached the maximum capacity of the room. We are no longer accepting RSVPs.

The world is aging rapidly, and China’s older population is growing faster than in any other country. This demographic transition is a defining issue of our time, and it poses unprecedented challenges for China due to increasing demand for health care, long-term care and other social services.

The health system has not yet adapted to the shift in the disease burden and health care needs driven by the aging population. Although the government has introduced three public health insurance programs since 1998, the benefit packages provide limited coverage for outpatient management and care of NCDs and chronic conditions. In addition, there has been a lack of investment in training geriatric medicine professionals and incorporating geriatric principles into clinical practice.

The higher burden of total cost of health and long-term care is inevitable. How do we tackle these challenges? We will need more innovative approaches to develop multi-sector and integrated solutions to issues concerning the aging population. While the system-level efforts, such as social protection system and universal health coverage, continue to be led by the government, Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) will play a catalytic role in adding capacity to ensure the sustainability of such systems through advancement of technology, human resources and innovation. There will be an increasing need for defining the conditions and application of PPPs that are compatible with adjustments to healthcare, pension and retirement policies and labor and capital markets. More importantly, political and public will is key to successful implementation of PPPs.

This workshop will feature PPP Initiative Ltd.’s recent efforts to develop PPP solutions for the aging population, followed by a discussion with experts from Beijing and participants on how to move from awareness to action in China.

LAD Workshop: University of Sarajevo 2017

Monday, July 3, 2017 | 9:00 AM -Friday, July 7, 2017 | 1:30 PM

This module addresses the challenges faced by public sector leaders as they foster economic growth in politically charged environments. Offered in partnership with the Leadership Academy for Development (LAD) at Stanford University and Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies, it uses case studies on how public policy can help the private sector be a constructive force for economic growth and development. A driving principle of the LAD module is that policy reform is not like engineering or other technical fields that have discrete skills and clear, optimal solutions. Instead, successful reformers must be politically aware and weigh a broad range of factors that influence policy outcomes. They must have a solid grasp of country-specific economic, financial, political and cultural realities. Most importantly, they must have a sense of how to set priorities, sequence actions and build coalitions. LAD provides participants with an analytical framework to build these leadership abilities and operate effectively under adverse conditions.
