The East New Britain Provincial Health Authority (ENBPHA) has completed its third quarter Annual Implementation Plan (AIP) review, aimed at improving the performance of health programs across the province.
The review was recently hosted in Rabaul District.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for curative, public health, corporate and executive management were carefully assessed during the review.
The AIP review is conducted on a quarterly basis and is said to greatly help improve the performance of respective health programs on a daily basis and within budget capacity.
Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ako Yap, who has been vocal on the importance of quarterly reviews, again stressed the importance of reviewing the respective KPIs that are aligned to the CEO’s Key Result Areas (KRA).”Reviews held are very important for us in the health sector to provide a clear insight into the activities and programs implemented and allow us to keep improving on our performance and indicators,” Dr Yap said.
Three quarterly reviews have now been conducted, with each indicating improvements in accountability, resource allocation, success indicators and continued tracking of progress.
Although the health budget was significantly reduced during the recent supplementary budget, Dr Yap praised the partners who continue to financially support the health system during the financial crisis.
“We cannot operate without funding to accomplish KRAs and having our donors and partners is something we must be grateful for, who sustain the ongoing operations despite the government not enabling funding,” he said.
Yap said an area ENBPHA is prioritising is renewing its Corporate Plan 2022-2026, which is important to coordinate and deliver rural and clinical healthcare across the province.
