| Abstract |
The Directorate General of Health Information and Statistics (DGISS) and Ministry of Health with technical support from the World Health Organization (WHO) implemented the 2016 Service Availability and Readiness Assessment (SARA) and a quality of care (QoC) for malaria, tuberculosis and HIV infection survey in 2016. The objective of the 2016 SARA was to generate reliable and regular information on service delivery including service availability, such as the availability of key human and infrastructure resources, and on the readiness of health facilities to provide basic health-care interventions relating to family planning, child health services, basic and comprehensive obstetric care, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. The 2016 SARA survey also assessed the operational capacity of health facilities in the fight against Ebola, management of malnutrition and rehabilitation activities. On the other hand, the purpose of the QoC study was to obtain information on the quality of services targeting priority diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis and HIV infection; and to propose corrective measures to improve the quality of care in public health facilities.
The 2016 SARA survey covered 700 health facilities, where as the QoC survey covered 122 health facilities, in all regions across the country.
This report presents findings of both the 2016 SARA and QoC. |
