Abstract:

The private sector is increasingly recognized as playing an important role in health systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), and in many countries private providers are expected to play a substantial role in moves towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Developing policies for engaging with private health care providers requires a good understanding of how healthcare markets operate. While the risks of excess concentration have long been recognized, there is emerging evidence from some LMICs of the potential risks to patients of excess fragmentation. Georgia offers a striking case study of a highly privatized healthcare system in a LMIC, where for-profit providers are contracted and paid by a public single-payer, the Social Service Agency (SSA), that manages a pooled public fund. This paper explores the empirical challenges of measuring healthcare market structure, analyses the structure of markets for inpatient and outpatient services, and reflects on the implications of the findings for UHC-related policies, including both the risks arising from market power and the additional costs and risks to quality arising from fragmentation in some product markets.
