Issues and challenges for HIS in a small island nation

Abstract:
Kiribati is among one of the least developed countries in the world. Every year international agencies and other health stakeholders request information on Kiribati mortality and morbidity, but unfortunately most health data has never been analysed and therefore, health reports have never been formally provided. Despite this, Kiribati has taken important steps forward in improving its health information system (HIS) by prioritising health information in the Ministry of Health's Strategic Action Plan. The main purpose of this case study is to explore the HIS issues and challenges Kiribati faces, actions taken to address these challenges, its next steps, and key messages for other countries in the Pacific.
