Several assessments have been done on the National Department of Health (NDOH) and its work including:
(ii) The AGSA annual assessments of performance information of human resources, finance, information technology and procurement systems management and adherence to required regulations and prescripts. The NDOH develops and implements and improvement action for each audit, such that it has obtained and unqualified financial audit from 2010 to 2017. For performance information several investments have been made to facilitate improvement in performance in the NDOH and the health sector. Key initiatives include implementation of the health patient registration system (HPRS);
(iii) Evaluations and assessments are often conducted for new initiatives introduced by the NDOH in the provinces, e.g the NHI pilot initiatives. With regards to the latter annual assessments have been done by independent organisations such as CHAI and CDC. Assessments are also done by expert committees established by the Minister, e.g the Ministerial Task Team I appointed in July 2015 to investigate the allegations of mismanagement, poor service delivery and unacceptable conditions in hospitals;
