Ensuring well-running, well-staffed, well-equipped health institutions
Reforms in organisation and management systems aim to improve how human resources are managed in health care. The reforms also aim to ensure that communities receive timely quality treatment and follow-up care by qualified doctors in well-equipped and well functioning health institutions. Some steps towards achieving this are -
- Reducing incidences of absent doctors and vacant posts, particularly in poorer communities
- Working with local authorities to fine-tune methods of identifying pitfalls in the way a health institution functions
- Having a more rational transfer policy for doctors and decentralizing the recruitment of doctors to the district level
- Including indicators such as performance and quality in Health Management Information Systems and ensuring these indicators reflect the most vulnerable communities
