New publication! Enabling the Private Health Sector in the National Response to COVID-19: Six Current Policy Challenges

WHO calls on national governments everywhere to adopt a whole-of-government and whole of- society approach in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. Reducing the further spread of COVID-19 and mitigating its impact should be a top priority for Heads of State and Governments.

The COVID-19 response should be coordinated with actors in the private sector and civil society. This new document "Enabling the Private Health Sector in the National Response to COVID-19: Six Current Policy Challenges" identifies and frames six policy challenges that low and middle-income countries (LMICs) are facing in enabling the domestic private health sector to support the national response to COVID-19.
