Summary This kwik-skwiz is aimed at management teams of health districts and of district hospitals. It raises issues about managing District Hospitals in the context of the District Health System and it provides a framework towards a well-managed District Hospital
More Details

In the past, Regional Hospitals and provinces often gave management support to District Hospitals. As part of national policy District Hospitals will form part of the District Health System (DHS). The District Hospital management team (executive officer, head of administration and manager for patient care) also form part of the management team of the DHS.

Management Teams need to

  • find ways in which the hospital-based resources can be harnessed to strengthen the DHS
  • assess performance
  • plan changes, one step at a time.
