Preface:
"This mutually contributed report, the Annual Public Health Statistics Report 2007, is
published by Department of Health Planning (DHP) in collaboration with Department of
Health (DOH), Ministry of Health. It covers not only all-inclusive statistics of the process of the
health care delivery system but also reveals the outcomes of public health activities
executed within one year period of 2007 start of January to end of December. The entire
public health statistics is as of Health Management Information System (HMIS) which ideally
sustaining management cultures that both recognize and use quantitative methods in
support of decision making processes with essential minimum data sets. HMIS in Myanmar is
jointly run by DHP and DOH representing fundamental health projects under the National
Health Plan.
To coordinate activities between health services to help effective referral patterns
and avoid unnecessary duplication of costly services, setting up priorities for the allocation
of health care resources, the health information is very crucial. As the demand of more
reliable and timely health information is evident HMIS endeavors to convince enhanced
facets of data collection, compilation, processing, analysis and publication. This very
fundamental job is commenced by the Basic Health Staffs from the Rural and Sub-Rural
Health Centers at the primary health care units. The monthly reports from them and also
from staffs at the township health departments are compiled and cleaned under the
supervision of township medical officers, the most responsible persons at the township level.
In hierarchal order, health personnel from Districts, States/Divisions Health Departments and
Information Division from DHP carve up the responsibility of compiling, processing,
analyzing and publishing of data.
The Department of Health Planning has developed and distributed Data Dictionary
for the Health Indicators and conducted training of trainers, multiplier and strengthening
trainings to facilitate advancement of the quality of Public Health Statistics. DHP feeds
quarterly reports to respective project managers and allow for the feedbacks in return. It is
also unworkable to accomplish this essential task without the support of departments from
Ministries, UN Agencies, National and International NGOs and Private Organizations.
To conclude, we would like to convey our heartfelt gratitude to each and every
one contributed to HMIS and realization of this imperative report. For the improvement of
the report in the future, we truly appreciate and welcome any constructive comments and
suggestions..."
