“The introduction of Public–Private Partnership (PPP) model medical colleges in tribal districts marks a shift in India’s approach to healthcare capacity building.”
In this context, examine the rationale behind adopting the PPP model for medical education in tribal regions. Discuss its potential benefits and challenges in ensuring equity, quality of healthcare delivery, and public accountability.
Tips for your answer
- Start with context and intent: Briefly link the PPP-model medical colleges to India’s doctor shortage, regional imbalance in medical education, and the specific healthcare gaps in tribal districts.
- Balance benefits with risks: Clearly structure the answer into advantages (infrastructure expansion, private efficiency, improved district hospitals) and challenges (affordability, profit motive vs public interest, regulatory oversight).
- Conclude with governance focus: Emphasise safeguards such as strong contracts, performance-linked payments, transparent regulation, and community-centric outcomes to ensure equity and accountability.
