Description:

In recent years, the international donor community has doubled down on the idea of the private sector as an important advisor, executor, innovator, and financier for governments, donors, and implementing partners to achieve sustainable health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries. With the COVID-19 pandemic only further magnifying critical pain points in the $134 billion annual health funding gap for reaching the health-related Sustainable Development Goals, now, more than ever, the development community recognizes the critical role the private sector can play in expanding access to critical care, procuring and distributing health commodities and medical equipment, and working with existing health systems to ensure essential service delivery.

During this virtual event, our panel of experts will explore key trends, challenges, and opportunities in private sector engagement and private capital flows in global health supply chains, offering illustrative examples of effective private sector engagement and how to leverage this for scaled development impact in health.
