Abstract(s)
The pre‐conceived idea that contracts in a public–private
partnership (PPP) regime, in healthcare or in any other
economic sector, are, as a rule, ruinous and appealing for
only a share of the stakeholders, lacks a solid basis that
confirms it. This idea, outset and nurtured by the media,
has been instigating the distrust of the users who, in turn,
demand a more rigorous and efficient utilisation of public
resources. Being Portugal in the top of countries that
resort to PPPs, it is urgent to inquire if its respective
contracts originated an inefficient and ineffective management of resources. It is precisely this discussion that we
address in this paper, focusing our efforts in the Portuguese healthcare sector
