Mid-Year Progress in Focus (2016)
WHO has committed to contribute to the President’s two overarching priorities for the health sector: Resilient ZERO and a reduction in maternal and child mortality and morbidity. To this end, WHO has agreed with the Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MoHS) to focus on six main areas of work.
A major achievement by the government has been maintaining the resilient zero with no new Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) cases. WHO has been working closely with the MoHS to support the roll out of the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) system and capacity across the country. Today all health facilities are reporting in a timely and correct manner. The preparation for putting the system on an electronic platform and improving the quality of the data is also well under way.
