"IFC's report presents striking evidence of how the interests of the poor would often be better served through a fundamental shift in the mindset of developing countries and donors alike, by moving from passive budgeting within the public sector to a greater engagement of the private sector through strategic purchasing or contracting services from nongovernmental providers," said
Alexander S. Preker, World Bank Lead Economist, Health. "Contracting with the private sector provides opportunities to make incentives explicit and brings better use of scarce resources – getting value for money in the short term and improved health outcomes in the long term."
