The Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MoHS) has directed a lot of effort towards strengthening the national Health Information System (HIS). With support from UNICEF and other partners, investment towards strengthening administrative data collection, transmission, analysis and use significantly increased, and the regulatory frameworks and processes for public health facility reporting in the national health management information system (HMIS) have been put in place.

Moreover, data accuracy and data use have remained relatively weak both at PHUs and hospitals levels.
