Defining a Set of Reproductive Health Indicators - A research report

Some issues raised by the study were that health providers and managers were unable to use the existing health idnicators for planning and decision-makers and were unable to define their health information needs, at development of RMR, district level managers were unable to be meaningfull involved partly due to a gap in knowledge on indicators and also because of many changes in the health sectors, staff were not trained on using the indicators for daily management of services, health site managers recommended that RMR should be able to reflect workload e.g. time spent on counselling and add HIV as an reproductive health indicator, the health information system in South Peninsula is still fragmented , with a strong tendency for vertical movement of data.
