Abstract

Health care services can be funded and provided in public and private economy due to their characteristics. Providing them mostly in public economy due to the positive externalities can cause heavy pressures on public financing balances. In order to minimize public financing problems created by health care services and take 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 to PPP applications. In the context of this purpose how PPP applications are perceived in UÅŸak 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 have not enough information about PPP applications and they are uncertain about whether they will provide the expected benefits or not.
