Why they are ‘invisible’
• No list exists
• International governance structures
• Politics
• External to health systems
• Scale
• Poorly functioning bureaucracies

What do we know?
• Absence of data
• Calls for further research
• Some limited, regional attempts at typology
• Lack of framework for research

What I want to know is….
• What, where, when, why & how• Origins, ownership, succession• Operational structures, facilities• Relationships with other actors• Government – friend or foe?• Funding & engagement

My approach
1. Scope out a typology
2. Select three case studies from one of the types identified
7

Proposed methodology
• Research publicly available materials, informal discussions
• Initial public survey
• Literature review
• Specific surveys of types identified
• Three case studies – interviews on site

Right now…
• Initial survey has 223 responses to date• Showing a large lack of awareness – 65% • Firming views on types, being:
i. Vertical
ii. Faith-based
iii. Emergency response
iv. Personality-based
v. Specialists
vi. Delivery innovators
vii. Mining-related
viii. Travelling health clinics / individuals
