CIRCULAR NO.6
To:
All Practitioners and Owners of the Health facilities in Uganda
To: All District Health
Officers
RE: SUBMISSION OF HMIS DATA TO DHOs
OFFICE
The
Health Professional Councils greatly appreciate the significant contribution provided by the private sector in
terms of health services delivery to the Country.
Health
Professional Councils want to remind all
of you the importance of data as
major health component in the health sector. However,it has been noticed that
many private health providers (PNFP and PFPs) do not submit data to the DHOs
office as required. This greatly distorts the true picture of health status in
the District and the Country at large.
The
Health Professional Councils have mandated the DHOs to approve all applications
for new registrations and renewal of practicing licenses for all private health
facilities before their submission to them. The objective is to ensure that
DHOs are in charge of all health services in the District.
So
the Private Health facilities should
ensure that they submit HMIS data to the DHOs office monthly. Non compliant
health facilities will not be endorsed for registration/renewal by DHOs.
All Private health
facilities should note that no
registrations or licencing will be done by Health Professional Councils unless
the DHOs have endorsed the forms.
DHOs
are hereby asked to orient these
facilities so as to comply using their HMIS officers.
Efforts
are being done to ensure availability of tools for data collection to the
private health facilities.
I
ask both stakeholders to comply as we deliver quality health services to the
Country.
