The DHB aims at improving the quality of and access to primary health care through monitoring important aspects of the health system at a district level by analysing and comparing a carefully selected range of health indicators.

The survey was approved and supported by the National District Health System Committee (NDHSC) and conducted by HST among District Health Managers, selected provincial sector managers, District (Level 1) Hospital Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), and managers linked to Health Information Systems (HIS), Strategic Planning (SP) and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), Local Government Health Managers. Also included were users in educational institutions, non-governmental organisations and other policy-influencing institutions.
