  • Assessment of Business Planning in Primary Care Facilities in Tajikistan
    2019 Assessment of business planning in primary care facilities in Tajikistan Assessment of business planning in primary care facilities in Tajikistan Abstract This report presents the main findings and recommendations of the assessment of the business planning implementation in primary health care facilities in Tajikistan. Since it was introduced in 2005, business planning in Tajikistan has grown into a nationally adopted mechanism for strengthening district and primary health care facility management. In 2019, an assessment took place to evaluate the results of the business planning implementation. The findings revealed that business planning was regarded as an efective managerial tool that improved the health of and relationships with the populations served. The most important outcome of business planning is the reported improved responsiveness to the health needs of the population, especially more vulnerable groups. Implementation of business planning has increased the transparency of the health facilities’ activities and resources and has strengthened the primary care management capacity. Nevertheless, the health system has challenges afecting the success of business planning that need to be addressed for its further success and sustainability in the country.
