Public-Private Partnership Growth in Europe and Portugal: Challenges and Impact
Abstract
This study analyzes Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in Portugal's healthcare sector, focusing on the balance between citizens' needs and public finance management. PPPs have become a key method for managing and financing hospital facilities within the National Health Service, often involving private operators in service provision. This arrangement raises concerns among healthcare professionals regarding the quality of services due to private oversight. The study aims to gather healthcare professionals' perspectives on the operational impact of PPPs compared to traditional public management. It evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of the current PPP model and proposes solutions to address the challenges identified. Findings suggest that the Portuguese experience reveals risks like excessive service utilization, with citizens primarily seeking prompt and effective healthcare services, regardless of their provider.
