Devon Cain is a student at Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) and an intern at PharmAccess Foundation Namibia (PAFN). Laura Hanson works for the Department of Global Health at BUSPH. Their video featured how an innovative solution was set up in Namibia to help leverage public-private partnership projects in healthcare service delivery. With its large landmass, difficult terrain, and sparse population, accessing basic health care services is a challenge for many Namibians. In 2010, PAFN launched the Mister Sister Mobile Health Service, a unique PPP arrangement that leverages both governmental and private sector resources to cover the cost of service delivery and has played a vital role in upgrading health infrastructure and the quality of services delivered to rural populations in Namibia.
