  • Annual Health Sector Performance Report
    THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA Annual Health Sector Performance Report Financial Year 2006/2007 October 2007 Blank Page Foreword The health sector in FY 2006/07 implemented the 2nd Year of the Health Sector Strategic Plan II (HSSP II). The focus has been on scaling up interventions and consolidating reforms initiated during the HSSP I and in the 1st Year of the HSSP II in order to achieve the Poverty Eradication Action Plan (PEAP) objectives and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The Uganda Demographic and Health Survey 2006 shows that there have been improvements in Infant Mortality Rate, Under5 Mortality Rate and Total Fertility Rate. The data is not conclusive on Maternal Mortality Ratio. These improvements in health outcomes indicate that it is indeed possible to make a difference in the life of Ugandans. The improvements in health outcomes were contributed to by different sectors; however the contribution of the health sector in terms of stewardship and advocacy, and improved coverage with good quality services for preventive, promotive and curative has been key. The AHSPR 2006/07 documents sector performance against agreed HSSP II indicators and Year II targets. The AHSPR 2006/07 indicates fairly good performance as shown by the performance against the 8 PEAP and HSSP II indicators. The sector performance for FY 2006/07 was on or above target for 3 indicators namely: Couple Years of Protection (CYP) a measure of family planning uptake; Proportion of children below 1 year that have received pentavalent vaccine 3rd dose; and New OPD attendance per capita. Sector performance was below target for 3 indicators namely: Proportion of deliveries taking place in government and PNFP health facilities; Proportion of health facilities with tracer medicines all the time (i.e.
