Assessing the performance of public-private partnerships in non-communicable disease management with a mixed-methods approach.

ABSTRACT: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a major global health challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with constrained health systems. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are increasingly utilized to improve access and efficiency in primary healthcare. This study evaluates the performance of public and outsourced healthcare centers in managing NCDs and identifies systemic and operational barriers to effective PPP implementation. A sequential mixed-methods design was employed, combining quantitative analysis of NCD-related key performance indicators (KPIs) from the Integrated Health System (2018-2022) using SPSS v26 with qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews with 16 healthcare providers, analyzed via conventional content analysis in MAXQDA 2020.
