Mission Report: GAVI Health System Strengthening Support (Questionnaire Development Workshop) in Myanmar

The Health Intervention and Technology Assessment Program (HITAP) was requested by the World Health Organization (WHO), on behalf of the Ministry of Health & Sports (MoHS), to provide technical assistance for completing its closure reports. This study will focus on conducting an evaluation of the two health financing schemes i.e. the HEF and MCHVS. The work is supported by the WHO and the International Decision Support Initiative (iDSI). This is the second visit by HITAP staff to Myanmar and follows the consultation meeting held on 25-27 October in Yangon when the proposed plan for the study was presented and discussed with senior advisors, colleagues from WHO and the MoHS as well as colleagues from Save the Children (SAVE), who are conducting a qualitative survey on out-of-pocket health expenditure, and a draft questionnaire was tested.
