The financing of the health care of a region through the public-private partnership

The development of the practices of the government and private sector interaction via collaborative projects can ensure the competitiveness and economic stability of a region. Those projects are designed to support the financing of the modernization of the health care infrastructure, the availability and quality of medical services. However, organizational-legal, institutional, financial and economic, and other measures which have been taken in Russian regions do not fully unleash the potential of the public-private partnership. The purpose of this study is to devise practical recommendations for the development of the public-private partnership on the financing of the health care which stimulates the economic growth and the competitiveness of a region. The study relies on the systematic, economic and statistical analysis, and the dialectical method of cognition. In this study the statistics of the modern practice of the public-private partnership in the health care were analyzed and prospective areas for improvement were presented as well as conditions for its effective development according to the SWOT-analysis. We found out that to achieve high quality of the results of the realization of the potential of the public-private partnership in the health care it is necessary to select and launch public-private partnership projects which are already possible to be carried out given the current legal fold; to conduct integrated assessment of the necessity for amendments to the existing legislation according to the results of the regional practice of the public-private partnership; to devise an effective institutional, and financial and economic incentive mechanism for the development of the public-private partnership.
