Assessing the Challenges and Opportunities of Healthcare Privatization: A Mixed-Methods Study

Abstract

Healthcare privatization is a majorly debated aspect that is considered a vital opportunity and yet is a challenging scenario for various aspects. Privatization greatly impacts access to adequate healthcare services, cost, and quality. Research explores privatization’s impact on stakeholders, including care providers, regulatory aspects, and patients. This research also investigates efficiency of service delivery while recognizing control policies, financial limitations, and other ethical regulations that can help to run healthcare establishments.

This paper highlights challenges from experiences of patients and inequitable access to services due to higher costs of privatization. Private establishments highly prioritize profit above proper care services, that restricts access for low-income groups. Resources are also lower, increasing nursing shortages and over worked doctors and nurses. Despite several issues, due to increased legal accountability and issues, also competition in increasing private hospitals. This study also investigates policies while executing several regulations and while balancing quality and costly services. Resolving these issues mandates government policies and regulations that can be efficient. Mixed research methods help to identify empirical data on increasing the  solutions and declining service access to rural or poor people due to it.

This paper also investigates and expounds on all opportunities in modern medicine with inclusion of sophisticated technologies in healthcare as a result of privatization. For private hospitals, there is major funding that can enable research and innovative medicine. It creates specialized treatments and cutting-edge solutions with clinical trials. This paper also explores several strategies while integrating privatization models within healthcare systems. Leveraging both challenges and opportunities, this research is utilized as a tool to address several sustainable options that can be utilized by private hospitals and healthcare establishments to expand future of healthcare privatization.
