The purpose of SAM Honduras was to collect information on availability and coverage of health services and resources and to use the results to improve health policy decision making. \n\nThe SAM survey was implemented in 19 out of 20 regional departments. The regional health department of Metro Tegucigalpa in the department of Francisco Moraz\u00e1n was the only area excluded from the survey. Health officers from a range of health facilities completed questionnaires addressing the availability of health services. A total of 419 health establishments participated in the SAM. Information was collected from three different levels of the health system namely national, regional and area. \n\nThe focus of this report is on 4 regions with high rates of HIV\/AIDS: Metro San Pedro Sula, Comayagua, Atl\u00e1ntida (La Ceiba, El Progreso) and Gracias a Dios. Specifically the report covers two categories: \n1. Human Resources \n\n2.

Designed as a district-owned system, SAM can be implemented as a standalone system or integrated into the routine health information system as a supervisory tool. As a monitoring tool, SAMis recommended every six months to one year. The frequency of implementation may be adjusted to suit program needs when utilized as a periodic evaluation tool. The Facility SAM covers availability of the health equipment, staffing, drugs and commodities, and the services offered. The District SAM covers health infrastructure, human resources, and services available in the district."},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"A census of 419 health establishments was implemented for the district questionnaire.
