Abstract

The aim of this report is to provide an overview of core discussions around Primary Health Care (PHC) and the Private Sector, which took place during the 5th Global Symposium on Health Systems Research 2018: Advancing health systems for all in the SDG era. Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and how health systems are working to deliver this global goal by 2030 was a major theme of the conference. Conference sub-themes revolved around broad topics of: Multi-sectoral Action; Engaging the Private Sector; Leaving No-one Behind and Community Health Systems. Discussions were captured through two core methods: ‘in session data capture’ and semi-structured interviews. 26 conference rapporteurs captured data in 93 sessions; and 21 interviews were conducted with policy makers, implementers and practitioners from the public and private sector. The findings are mainly focused on research from low and middle-income countries (LMIC) with some examples from upper middle and high-income countries. This focus was chosen as the opportunities to promote and report health research from resource-poor settings is limited (Siriwardhana, 2015). The conference provided an opportunity for shared learning due to the many scholarships that supported attendance of health actors and researchers from LMICs. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) Ethics Committee. The following broad themes were identified through data capture and interviews. Findings that are more detailed can be located in the main body of the report and include case study examples.
