Abstract

Due to their characteristics, health care services can be funded and provided in public and private economy. Providing them mostly in public economy due to its positive externalities can cause heavy pressures on public financing balances. In order to minimize public financing problems caused by health care services and taking the advantages of administrative and financial superiorities of private sector the tendency for the privatization of health care services is gradually increasing. Recently PPP applications, one of the privatization models, have been observed to be used commonly in health sector. At that point the objective of the study is defined as to identify the perspectives of public sector employees and health service beneficiaries about PPP applications. In the context of this purpose how PPP applications are perceived in Uşak city is researched by presenting the working principles of PPP models specific to health sector. Within the scope of analyses the perception about the expectations from PPP applications in health sector is identified first. According to analysis results it was observed that health sector employees and health service beneficiaries do not have enough information about PPP applications and they are uncertain about whether they will provide the expected benefits or not.
