Abstract

Purpose This study aimed to define the public‐private partnership (PPP) model, eliciting the views and assessments of stakeholders and identifying associated health policies and planning issues. Method It uses qualitative research methods to examine the extent to which PPPs promote or interfere with the provision of health services, equality, efficiency, quality, health tourism, and initiatives to strengthen the national economy. Having selected an appropriate sample, researchers approached bureaucrats and experts from the Ministry of Health, Social Security Institution, Ministry of Development, Ministry of Finance, NGOs, and other state institutions and organizations. A total of 83 people were asked to complete a semi‐structured questionnaire. The qualitative research data were analyzed using a descriptive‐analysis method; a content analysis was carried out using a computer‐based qualitative research program, MAXQDA Versions 11. Results The majority of participants expressed positive opinions about PPPs, their applicability in Turkey, and the financial viability and scope of PPPs in the health sector. They also commented on the aims, advantages, and disadvantages of such partnerships. The majority of participants believed that a PPP was an appropriate finance model for the integrated health‐campus substructure of Turkey's health sector. The most positive views were expressed by public and private sector‐stakeholders, while some negative views were voiced by NGO representatives. Conclusion This study identified and assessed integrated health‐campus projects to determine the aim, suitability, advantages, and disadvantages of the model in the health sector, particularly in relation to the cost, quality, and availability of health services. This study discusses the current positive and negative effects of integrated health‐campus implementation.
