The NHS is paying over £2 billion every year to private companies for PFI contracts. And yet the Department of Health, through Healthcare UK, has been promoting the use of similar Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) around the world.<br /><br />PPPs put the healthcare systems of impoverished countries like Zambia and Liberia at risk of unjust and unpayable debts. I am writing to ask you to stop Healthcare UK and the wider UK government from promoting this flawed model to countries in the Global South.
