Bhutan malaria control programme review: a report : 23-30 March 2010

Abstract

The programme review is a mechanism to assess overall programme achievements and performance, as well as to identify gaps. It provides an opportunity to propose strategic directions in order to improve the programme performance. The Ministry of Public Health of Bhutan, in collaboration with WHO, conducted the external evaluation of the malaria control programme during 23-30 March 2010. The review team observed significant improvement in national capacity and proposed several strategic directions in order to move towards malaria elimination. This report elaborates the rationale of programme review, process and results of the review.
