Luanda — At least 660 healthcare professionals have been trained by the Health Ministry (MINSA) in areas related to hospital management, health statistics and data analysis, as part of a strategy to strengthen the governance of healthcare facilities and improve the quality of services provided to the public.

The figures were announced during the opening of a training course on Hospital Management and Statistics, which is taking place in Luanda and brings together 30 hospital directors-general from different provinces across the country, a partnership between MINSA and the National School of Administration and Public Policy (ENAPP), as part of the Human Resources Training Project for Universal Health Coverage, funded by the World Bank.

Baptista Monteiro, the national director of human resources of the Health MInistry, said staff training is a key element in strengthening hospital governance and ensuring the continuous improvement of health services.

According to the official, the use of reliable information and performance indicators enables healthcare facilities to plan their activities more effectively, manage resources more efficiently and respond more appropriately to the needs of the population.
