Health Strategic Plan 2016-2020 - Quality, Effective and Equitable Health Services.

The Health Strategic Plan 2016-2020 - Quality, Effective and Equitable Health Services is the Third Health Strategic Plan (HSP3) for Cambodia. The Plan is “strategic management tool” aimed at guiding the Ministry of Health (MoH) and all health institutions as well as concerned stakeholders to effectively and efficiently use their available resources to translate health strategies into action.
As such the HSP3 is characterized by the following: 1) it renews a long-term vision for improving health and wellbeing of the Cambodian people, and re-affirms the MoH’s commitment (mission) to meeting the vision (health development goals), thereby contributing to achieving socioeconomic development goals of RGC; 2) it outlines a strategic framework for further strengthening the operation in the entire health sector (both public and private) to address sector priority by refining sector strategies and sets of its strategic interventions in order to pursue strategic outcome; 3) it lays out an operational framework to ensure that sector strategies are consistently applied across programs’ interventions, resulting in appropriate alignment of program interventions with the sector strategy. In so doing, the programs’ outcomes can be consolidated toward achieving strategic outcome and health development objectives; 4) it provides a framework for monitoring and evaluating progress and results of the plan’s implementation on an annual basis, followed by Mid-Term Review and final evaluations; and 5) it is a potential tool for mobilizing financial resources and informing fiscal allocation, as well as guiding development assistance in the health sector to support agreed sector priorities and interventions, in order to enhance harmonization and alignment.
The HSP3 goal is to improve health outcome of the population and increased financial risk protection. HSP£ development goals are: 1) Improve reproductive health, and reduce maternal, newborn and child mortality and malnutrition among women and youth children; 2) Reduce morbidity and mortality caused by communicable diseases; 3) Reduce morbidity and mortality caused by non-communicable diseases and other public health problems; 4) Make the health system more accountable and responsive to the population health needs.
