Abstract
The Somalia HHFA is the collective effort of a multi-partner group that included the Ministry of Health, WHO, UNICEF, and other partners. The data collection methodology used for this HHFA was a facility audit with key informants and observation for availability, readiness, management and finance.
The HHFA was a cross-sectional survey and covered six states and all health facility levels in Somalia. The latest WHO HHFA tool was used to ensure the deployment of a standardized and tested questionnaire. Somalia implemented the availability, readiness, management and finance modules using the facility audit methodology. These modules were used to collect information on the physical presence of facilities, resources, services, capacity to provide specific services, and
management practices to support continuous service availability and quality. Data collection involved interviews and observations as required in the specific modules of the questionnaire.
The survey encompassed all approved/licensed health facilities across Somalia, both public and private, including national referral hospitals, regional hospitals, district hospitals, speciality hospitals, health centres, private clinics, and primary health units.
Across the six states visited during the HHFA, the survey team documented 1,215 operational health facilities.
