Public and Private Health Sector Sample Clauses

Public and Private Health Sector. The public and private health sectors in Indonesia have been growing rapidly over the last decade. The number of public and private hospitals increased from 1,268 in 2005 to 1,523 in 2009[7]. During this same time, private sector growth has outpaced the public health sector growth.

The private sector can provide immunization services increase access to services, and offer vaccines unavailable in the public sector for people who are willing to pay. Overall, the private health sector can potentially help fill gaps in the immunization program by providing immunization services and improving access to traditional EPI vaccines. This has particularly been seen among countries in Asia[1]. Private facilities provide services to higher income populations and to people in areas that might not be reached by public health facilities.
