In this respect, the P4H Network has clearly defined its mission and related vision, role and goals. Partners and members also understand the benefits and value of partnerships connecting across health, financing, social and other sectors. P4H supports and facilitates collaborations aligned with national priorities and that are evidenced based. These are very unique features of P4H.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#E8E7E2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”TEXT – Q 2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||1em||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]AA: <\/strong>You mentioned unique features. Can you elaborate on this?<\/em>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TEXT – A 2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||1em||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n BD:<\/strong> There are many unique and specific features that enabled the growth of the P4H Network since 2007. First, I would say, continued commitment and support of founding and funding members like the World Health Organization, the International Labour Organization, the World Bank Group and government partners such as Germany, France and Switzerland. They see the value of P4H as a space for cross-sectoral and cross-disciplinary collaboration that social health protection (SHP) and health financing (HF) needs. They also understand and support the rapidly changing environment and shift from vertical to horizontal collaboration. On the other hand, there is a growing need for knowledge exchange among countries and regions, which can be used to share their unique perspectives and help educate on best practices through experiences in other countries and regions. International knowledge exchange was one of the reasons for the expansion of P4H in South and Central Asia<\/a>. Lastly, I would point out that the working format of P4H is very flexible and responsive to countries\u2019 needs, and the diverse knowledge of its staff creates blended expertise across the teams working at global, regional and country levels.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#E8E7E2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”TEXT – Q 3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||1em||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]AA: <\/strong>Based on the collaborative nature of the work supported by the P4H Network, what are some of the examples of recent or upcoming developments or collaboration efforts that you find exciting?<\/em>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TEXT – A 3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||1em||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]BD:<\/strong> There are collaborations launched and implemented thanks to the uniqueness of the P4H Network. For example, the Leadership for UHC programme<\/a> was developed, supported and implemented in many countries of Africa and Asia through engagement and collaboration of P4H members. Countries highly value this programme because it helps them work in multisectoral and multidisciplinary teams and identify and address nontechnical aspects of SHP and HF for universal health coverage. I would also note that the P4H Network has initiated a new collaborative workstream to explore and apply the political economy concept in partnership collaboration, which was piloted in Cambodia and Cameroon. I expect that the work will broaden and encourage productivity because any reform in any country entails politically grounded policy dialogues and coordinated actions. The blog “P4H Political Economy Tool: An approach to enhanced partnership<\/a>“, published last month, introduced this work to the P4H community. Another example that I would think of is the most recently launched collaboration with Rare Diseases International<\/a>, which aims to investigate and understand the scope and opportunities to support people with costly rare diseases through SHP and HF systems.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#E8E7E2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”TEXT – Q 4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||1em||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]AA: <\/strong>Thank you. Yes, these are good examples. Now, how do you see the future of P4H Network? <\/em>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TEXT – A 4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||1em||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]BD:<\/strong> The future success of P4H Network will largely depend on how it will fit the needs of its constituents in the constantly changing, ever-evolving work environment. In other words, it is necessary to foresee what is going to happen and think how best P4H would position itself to effectively address the need for partnerships. There are already forward-looking thinking and actions. For example, P4H has been initiating discussions on the use of nonrenewable material resources in the context of health system financing and strengthening. It began to address the political economy of partnerships, which is new to collaborative spaces such as P4H. Equal partnership with an increasing ownership role of countries in decision making on partnership is the future. Many countries have already joined P4H, and I believe this trend will continue. P4H also brought academia into partnership and looks forward to working more closely with civil society organizations and the private sector. We also see that national intellectual and professional capabilities are enhancing fast. The growing use of information technology and social media platforms will also play an important role in the future of networking.

Indeed, a new chapter of life is starting from this moment. I will return to my home country, Mongolia. However, my professional interest in health systems, health systems financing, SHP and social health insurance will remain. People retire when they reach retirement age, but knowledge never retires. I hope that it will be the same for me. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to my P4H colleagues and friends for their support and teamwork, which I enjoyed very much in the past seven years. I wish you all my best. Thank you for having a short interview with me for the P4H Governance Newsletter.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text quote_border_color=”#EA3A32″ admin_label=”OPTIONAL ELEMENT 1: YOU CAN ADD HERE A BLOCK QUOTE (250-300 ch.).
