Abstract
There has been a movement towards involvement of the private sector in the provision of public infrastructures, healthcare service delivery is not an exception and other services through the use of Public Private Partnership. Healthcare provision is the responsibility of the three tiers of government as contained in section 17, sub-section 3(d) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended which explain that “the state shall direct its policy toward ensuring that there are adequate medical and health facilities for all persons”. However, Sokoto state is still facing healthcare challenges. The major objective of the study is to examine the effect of Public Private Partnership (PPP) on healthcare service delivery with the specific objective is to determine the effect of PPP on provision of Primary healthcare facilities. Survey research design was adopted, data were generated from both primary and secondary sources. Simple linear regression was used to analyse data with the aid of Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS Version 20). The findings of the study revealed that; despite the inadequacies in regulatory framework, PPP reduced the distance of healthcare, saved time, cost of services and ensures the provision of cold stores and vaccines
for immunization while the other finding shows that the collaboration assist in terms of
building the capacity of healthcare personnel through continuing training programmes in
Wamakko and Sokoto South Local Government Areas. It is therefore, recommended that
states that are yet to embrace private sector collaboration in the healthcare delivery should
speed it up with utmost sense of sincerity, this would at a great length enhance the lives of the
populace in the state.
