5 Old system: Fragmentation of information National: Fragmented info Difficult access District: Fragmented data management Paper-based transcription and transmission Not fully disaggregated TB TB All programs own systems IDSR IDSR HIV HIV EPI EPI RH/FP RH/ FP District reports compiled by hand Directorate of Planning & Information HMIS Outpatient services & morbidity National Statistics Office Surveys Census Facility: Many reports Little feedback Little use at facility No hospital reports TB IDSR HIV EPI RH/ FP Outpatient services & morbidity Hospital
