The Service Delivery Indicators (SDIs)
provides a set of key indicators serving as a benchmark for
service delivery performance in the health and education
sectors in Sub-Saharan Africa. The overarching objective of
the SDIs is to ascertain the quality of service delivery in
primary education and basic health services. This would in
turn enable governments and service providers alike to
identify gaps and bottlenecks, as well as track progress
over time, and across countries. The SDI survey interviewed
403 heath providers across Tanzania between May 2014 and
July 2014. This technical report presents the findings from
the implementation of the SDI in the health sector in
Tanzania in 2014. Survey implementation activities took
place following extensive consultations with the government
and key stakeholders on survey design, sampling, and
adaptation of survey instruments. A major challenge for
Tanzania’s health sector is the shortage of skilled human
resources for health (HRH). This survey found that provider
knowledge and abilities were not adequate to deliver quality
services. Caseload per provider and absenteeism are
relatively low, so the issue is not over burdened providers.
There seems to be ample room for a significant increase in
the caseload of Tanzanian providers, i.e. the level of
productivity in health service delivery, without
jeopardizing quality. In addition to increasing the volume
of skilled HRH to address the shortage of providers,
improvements in management, supervision and training is
important to improving service delivery. Health for all in
Tanzania will mean the simultaneous availability of widely
accessible inputs and skilled providers. |
