| Summary: | Papua New Guinea (PNG) has seen some
improvements in health indicators over the past 25 years,
but the pace of improvements is not as robust as expected. A
better understanding of service delivery is critical to help
PNG achieve the goals set in the PNG National Health Plan
(2011–2020) and accelerate improvements in health outcomes.
In this context, a primary survey was conducted at all
secondary (levels 5 and 6), tertiary (level 7), and a random
selection of functional upper-primary-level health
facilities (levels 3 and 4). The report analyzes whether
primary and secondary health care facilities in PNG have an
adequate level of resources, both human resources and other
material inputs, to deliver quality health care services and
to determine whether the inputs are combined in an efficient
manner to produce health care services. |
