Can interventions improve health services from informal private providers in low and middle-income countries? A comprehensive review of the literature
2011
Background There is a growing interest in the role of private health providers in lowand middle-income countries (LMICs). Informal private providers (IPPs) provide a significant portion of health care in many LMICs, but they have not received training in allopathic medicine. Interventions have been developed to take advantage of their potential to expand access to essential health services, although their success is not well measured. This paper addresses this information gap through a review of interventions designed to improve the quality, coverage, or costs of health services provided by IPPs in LMICs.
