Private Health Sector Insights - May 2015

The Power of Public-Private Partnerships - Saving Children's Lives in Ghana

The SHOPS program in Ghana promoted the introduction of zinc for treatment of pediatric diarrheas through private sector channels. SHOPS used a four-pronged approach looking at the enabling environment, ensuring a sustainable supply, and improving knowledge and treatment practices of the provider and caregiver. The team visited clinics and launched a campaign to educate consumers. This short video highlights the accomplishments of the program.
