In this study, MakCHS worked with local stakeholders in efforts to improve health facility functionality through training, provision of drugs, equipment and supplies, and later on more health workers were recruited at the district.
The PBI component was designed around two measurement tools--one is a supervisory checklist, which was filled each month by an independent monitor (often from SC US), who checked on qualitative issues such as the hygiene of the facility, functionality of equipment, and maintenance of registers (see Table 1).
Such a tool could make predictions for potential disasters for new facilities and functionalities of urban area and could handle the increase of available information.
During our pilot, we found many facilities were having functionalities corresponding to a higher level, yet lacking in a functionality that was expected at a lower level of ICU care.
In this report the design and performance of a novel laboratory facility with such functionality is presented.
Primary data on facility locations, EmOC functionality, and obstetric bed availability were collected in the years 2012 and 2013 in three study districts.
Same applies to health care facilities, i.e., functionality, quality and extent of such components and assets determine the accessibility, availability, quality and acceptability of health care services as well as the working conditions of facility staff [ 5- 10].
Though functionality of facilities may need to be assessed in a more in-depth manner, our methodology is probably sufficient for studying differences between hospitals and regions and also over time.
The Internet is an indispensable part of our everyday life and it offers us more and more functionalities and facilities.
Moreover, the method allows checking the planned facility on public attractiveness, functionality, safety and security and, if needed, making the necessary improvements.
