BACKGROUND• Belize produced its first edition of the Health System and Service Profile in May 2001• The second edition was produced in January 2002
• In 2005, Belize participated in the Health
System Profile and Analysis Workshop held in
Puerto Rico
BACKGROUND
• A module for a new format of the Health System Profile was shared with all countries to be adopted as to ensure standardization and to compare health status amongst Regions
• In that same year, a draft English version of the module was obtained since the workshop in Puerto Rico was in Spanish
• Since receiving the English version, Ministry of Health, Belize, initiated populating the statistical tables
• This process is a joint effort between the Epidemiology Unit and the Planning Unit of the Ministry of Health
Challenges
• Lack of Human Resources
• Data gaps
• Lack of a National Health System Profile Committee to oversee the commitment from the pertinent organizations as being active in the developmental process
• Weaknesses in the National Health Information system
Measure Taken Since
• Development of a new Health Information System which will support the development of the Health
Profile 2006
• Establishment of a core team from the Ministry of Health and PAHO to oversee the development of the Health Profile
• Several meetings are held between Ministry of Health and PAHO/Belize Representative, reviewing the process needed to be taken as to ensure the completion of the Health Profile 2006
Recommendations• Strengthening of the Statistics component
of the Epidemiology Unit, MOH • Establish a Committee to oversee the
smooth transition in developing present and future Health Profiles
• Identify and address data gaps
• Continuing leading role of PAHO/WHO for the development of the document
