Definition of public and private health sectors The World Bank [3] defines the private sector to include all actors outside of government including forprofit non-profit, formal and non-formal entities. This broad definition includes service providers, pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies, producers and suppliers, shopkeepers and even traditional healers.

For the purposes of this study, the private sector was defined to include all formal service providers working for profit and/or not-for-profit (e.g. nongovernmental organization). The focus of this study has largely been on the for-profit private sector in countries of the Region.
