Health Service change • Healthcare provider network out of line with the health needs • Mainly small hospitals Low health services effectiveness • Lower perceived quality care (low socio-economic groups) • By-pass of primary care, low health services utilization Inequalities in access to health services • Inform. System – IPH • Hospitals – HealthInsuranceInstitute (HII) • Primary Care – Directorates • – Rural health centers • – Management of HC provisionbyGPs • Improving HS utilizationthrough HC qualityimprovement

Morbidity - National data The health care system is ill prepared to face the increasing incidence of non-communicable diseases Decrease in infectious diseases, increase in chronic diseases • Prevalence of CVD and cancer have risen markedly over the past decade • Prevalence of Type II diabetes rapid increase in the last years (0.1% in 2008) • Incidence 6.3%, double the figures for Western countries • expected to double again in the next 20 years
Morbidity – GP regional data Underdiagnosis? Increasing incidence, low service utilization
Mortality • 7% 50 external causes • 5-10 violence • 10 road accidents, high with respect to traffic 4% 35 infant mortality 15-25 per 1000 live births <1% 5 infectious diseases <5yrs, resp. and diarrhea <1% 1 maternal mortality50 per 100,000 live birth 420 abortions ……...…230 per 1000 live births Death per 100,000 inhabitants per year - SDR, total 810 50% 420 CVD 15% 115 cancers - 25% lung cancer
Births in • 84% maternity hospital (13% cesarean) • 8% other health center • 8% home births, more likely: • rural areas • the least educated • older women • no prenatal c. • Postpartum visit • 20% yes • 80% no rural areas, the least educated Maternal mortality & HS utilization – National data • Prenatal care • 10% adequate • 70 % inadequate (the highest in ECA) • 20% no care • 77% 1(or>)US,but low technical capacity
Infant mortality & HS utilization – National data • Women registering their newborns: 20 % of them during the first week 72 % after the first week 8 % NO (25% of deaths just occurred) • Important predictor of infant mortality: • poor sanitary conditions in hospitals: • gloves and antibiotics not widely available • delivery practices substandard, drugs used inappropriately • midwives did not have the required skills and were infrequently supervised • the parent’s educationand mountainous region (5%, 1.3%Tir) • the number of prenatal visits and cesarean sections
Maternal and infant mortality & HS utilization – Regional data Pregnants without gynecologist examination Urban area: 0% Rural area: 9.0% • All births in hospital, with neonatological examination • …however 2% of births in other hospitals, no gynecologists?
Criticisms – GPs • 44 GPs, mean experience of 10 years • About 3000 patients (comprising 600 children in rural areas) • 50% at least 1 visit per year • Requests: • ECG, Echo, Otoscope • Laboratory tests • Consummables (gloves…)
Criticisms – ObsGyn • 2 gynecologists (mean exp: 30 years) and 12 midwives • Instrumentneeds: • Echo, computers, gynecologicbed • Labtests (pregnancy detection, urine albumine, microbiol.) • Perceived training needs: • Echographutilization • sex-transmitteddiseases
Criticisms – PEDs • 10 pediatricians (mean exp: 25 yrs) in city, child 0-14 yrs • Instrument needs: • Computers and connections (100%), echo, otoscope • Drugs for urgent interventions • Lab tests • Car for transports • Perceived training needs: • Autism management (80% pediatricians) • Nutrition in child (nurses)
Interventions – Information System • Strengthen health information system to allow for informed policy decisions and monitoring of performance • Instruments and training for data management • No informatic archives in Primary care (paper records including name-surname-ID, profession, diagnosis and treatment) • Informatic skills: 7% high, 86% medium, 7% low
Interventions – web based courses and consulting • Afford chronic disease increase by • preventive care (screening, build up the capacity of providers to adequately manage the conditions) • health promotion (mainly tobacco consumption)
Conclusions • Intervention on Health Informative system according to IPH standards • HCWs training (regarding lifestyles, diabetes and echography during pregnancy) combining all the HCWs and hospital HCWs • health education in population (lifestyles) focusing on low income groups and rural areas …thankyou
