Sustaining Health Outcomes through the Private Sector (SHOPS) Plus
Overview
WDI is a member of the Sustaining Health Outcomes through the Private Sector (SHOPS) Plus consortium. SHOPS Plus is USAID’s flagship initiative in private sector health. The project seeks to harness the full potential of the private sector and catalyze public-private engagement to improve health outcomes in family planning, HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health, and other health areas. SHOPS Plus supports the achievement of US government health priorities and improves the equity and quality of the total health system. SHOPS Plus aims to increase use of priority health services by:
- Improving the enabling environment for the private health sector
- Strengthening provision of private sector information, products, and services, resulting in expanded access for underserved populations
- Increasing effective public-private engagement
- Sharing innovative, emerging, and tested private sector models.
- Applying a total market approach
WDI’s role on the project is to utilize its business expertise in the healthcare sector to support development of market-based analysis and pricing approaches.
