The health district is the decentralised unit, and building block, of the National Health System. The District Health System (DHS) encourages managers to take charge and make decisions about health services and the allocated resources.
The role of the District Management Team (DMT) is to:
- Mix and allocate the available resources in the best possible way to meet the basic health needs of the community they serve.
- Ultimately the aim is to improve the health status of the community they serve.
In order to do this, the DMT has to manage resources and services according to a District Health Plan, the strategic plan for the district. The District Health Plan outlines what the district would like to achieve, what for and how it will assess achievement.
