The Government of Tajikistan has
identified improving maternal and child health (MCH) as key
priorities in its new Health Sector Strategy for 2010-2020.
The Government recognizes that improving MCH outcomes is
critical to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDG)
for maternal and child health over the next four years.
Tajikistan's data on most of the MDG indicators for
maternal and child health can be improved significantly. The
Government's ability to track its progress and to take
action to ensure the achievement of its MDGs will be
considerably bolstered by access to reliable data on
childbirths, child mortality and others factors that affect
these outcomes. To improve data reporting, data collection
needs to be consistent in its methods and sources, which is
currently not the case. As a result, health facilities and
national agencies' reports diverge significantly from
the results of nationally representative surveys. With this
in mind, the study therefore set out to identify the main
factors affecting two specific areas of Tajikistan's
Health Information System-namely the child birth and death
registration system as well as the possible steps to address
them. The analysis reveals a number of issues that are key
constraints to the further development of the vital
statistics system in Tajikistan, particularly in the
specific area of registration of births and deaths. Most of
these go well beyond the health sector's span and call
for broader action by the Government in order to be
effectively and comprehensively addressed. The most
important is the absence of clear leadership and ownership
among the Government agencies for the issues related to
accurate vital statistics. In view of this, there are
several priority actions that have to be taken over the
short to medium term by the Government and its key agencies
to improve this situation. The most critical action is to
clearly establish one Government agency to undertake the
overall coordination, responsibility and ownership on the
issue of vital statistics. |
