health care is a necessity for fostering human development. Yet Ghana, as other developing countries, is struggling to provide improved, quality and affordable health care to its citizens. Against the backdrop of limited public funds and competition from other sectors of the economy; inadequacy is but a lightening of the actual challenges in health care delivery. Undoubtedly, Public-Private Partnerships in health care seems to be the innovation. But what can and will the private sector do in health care delivery? What are the prospects and challenges of a policy that fosters intense private sector support. This work, explores the nuisances of this approach through a local context. The research work tried to explore this by analysing the contribution of the private sector in local level heath care delivery.
