Résumé : Macroeconomic constraints, medical technology developments, changing patterns of disease and demographics and rising public expectations lead us to look further when questioning the sustainability of public health insurance. Public Private Partnerships emerged as collaboration initiatives across OECD countries as a solution proposed by the New Public Model in the belief that it stands half-way between public administration and complete privatization. This study intends to produce taxonomy of various types of Public Private Partnerships in health and to analyze its relation with health care system performance.
