With support from @RelabHS and technical assistance from @WHO, @MinOfHealthUg recently oriented all health management information system focal persons on new rehabilitation indicators. The indicators will improve data collection, decision making, and ultimately patient outcomes!

So interesting to know how stakeholders set goals for integration and improvement of rehabilitation services in their settings. Kudos @LocalMayuge @UniMelb

[Mayuge District LG @LocalMayuge]

One may not understand why for example we have 4/21 goals. In @LocalMayuge we set goals based on data & they must be achievable. We fail to achieve the goal, we re-assess it and evaluate ourselves and then set a new goal. John Gambani (Medical Clinical Officer)-Baitambogwe HC3.
