Excerpt:

"In line with the goals of the current Health Sector Reform Programme (HSRP) and the MOH’s general commitment to improve performance the MOH applied to the Health Metrics Network (HMN) to get the support necessary to undertake a comprehensive assessment of the national Health Information System (HIS). The genesis of the proposal was a result of officials from the MOH, PAHO, and Vital Statistics Unit (VSU) attending an HMN hosted meeting in Panama City, Panama in June of 2006. A National Health Information System Committee (NHISC) was setup to oversee the implementation of the HMN funded national HIS assessment and strategic plan development."
