Monitoring and evaluation

Clinical description

• The HIV program relies heavily on accurate and timely data for planning, reporting to donors

and for drug procurement and distribution.

• Data analysis and reporting is done from patient cards and clinic registers at many facilities,

but electronic systems for monitoring are used at sites with many patients.

• Reporting is done monthly for ANC, maternity and exposed child follow-up and quarterly for

ART (see Table 27 on page 122)

• Cohort analyses are needed to report outcomes of patients in ANC, exposed child and ART

follow-up. Cohort reports look at the current / latest status of all patients enrolled in follow- up and require a review of all patient records to classify primary and secondary outcomes before data can be aggregated for reporting.

• Complete facility reports within 5 working days after the end of the reporting period.
• HIV Program reporting is integrated into the regular Health Management Information System.

Monthly / quarterly facility reports are entered directly into the District Health Information System at the District Health Offices for national reporting.
