Short description
(German)
The Swiss Government has been supporting Kyrgyzstan’s health sector reform since 1999. The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) mandated the Swiss Red Cross (SRC) to implement the Kyrgyz-Swiss Health Reform Support Project (KSHRSP). A thorough assessment of the health care situation in the country identified the need for improving the hospital infrastructure in the rural areas as an immediate priority. Recognizing the problems associated with improper health care waste management (HCWM), the SDC approved an expansion of the work to include the development of HCWM models at hospitals in Naryn and Talas oblasts in collaboration with the Republican Center for Infection Control (RCIC). The model was adopted by the Kyrgyz Ministry of Health (MOH) and was replicated in more hospitals in Issyk-Kul and Chui oblasts in 2010. A subsequent phase of the project expanded the HCWM model throughout the country except for the city of Bishkek. The Swiss Embassy and SDC have commissioned this evaluation of the HCWM model and the impact of the project in the country.The method of evaluation consisted of a review of documents, site visits to six hospitals, and interviews with local and national stakeholders. Assessments were made relative to the expected outcome and outputs of the project as well as a qualitative assessment of each component of HCWM, a quantitative assessment using the UNDP-WHO individualized Rapid Assessment Tool (I-RAT), and a scoring system to evaluate relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, and sustainability.
