MoH launches plan to strengthen health systems

Speaking at the launch yesterday, MoH deputy permanent secretary Shenaaz El-Halabi said the National Health Policy underscored the importance of health information and data management in strengthening the health system in Botswana.

“The Ministry of Health is committed to working with its stakeholders towards meeting the health needs of the nation, through quality services provision that is evidence based. With significant challenges in the trends of both communicable and non-communicable disease burdens in the country, coupled with increasing health needs, the data polices will help us establish mechanisms to keep track of all necessary data,” she said.
