Abstract: The aim of the research is to analyze and implement the world and Russian experience of public-private partnership (PPP) in medical services. We try to convey the need for and urgency of making significant investments in healthcare funded by both public and private sources, since attracting private investors to healthcare reduces the burden on the state budget. We also provide a comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the infrastructure, service, and integrated models currently used and determined by the nature of the medical services provided in various countries. We draw on the techniques and data of the USA, UK, and Italy with the view of applying the best PPP practices in Russia. Our study suggests recommendations on methodologies for the assessment of healthcare projects' effectiveness and risk avoidance. Keywords: Public-private partnership (PPP), healthcare sector, global experience of PPP projects.
