Quality of Care for Family Planning: A Comparison of Private and Public Facilities in Seven Countries Using Survey Data

Both public and private health facilities play important roles in the provision of voluntary family planning services. However, little is known about how and if quality of care may differ between these two types of facilities. MOMENTUM Private Healthcare Delivery has conducted an analysis of Service Provision Assessment surveys to compare quality of care for family planning services in public and private health facilities across several countries. The report, "Quality of Care for Family Planning: A Comparison of Private and Public Facilities in 7 Countries Using Survey Data" shares findings that reveal significant nuanced differences between public and private sector health facilities in three key aspects of quality: structure, process, and overall outcome.  A research brief is also available and highlights the key findings from the report.
