Description

The Government of Nauru and the Government of Australia have agreed to pursue significant measurable progress towards the achievement of a cost-effective health system which delivers improved health outcomes in Nauru by 2015.

To this end, the Partnership will provide fundamental support to the implementation of the Department of Health (DOH) Strategic Health Plan 2010-15 and the Annual Operational Plans, to guide the implementation of the National Sustainable Development Strategy (NSDS) 2005-2025. SOP priorities (and Priority Outcome 3 in the Partnership) are:

• Strengthening health system management, in particular budget prioritisation, strategic planning, infrastructure redevelopment and improved health statistics (noting governance and human resource).
• Reduced prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and sexually transmissible infections (STIs) through more effective preventive and public health programs
• Improving Maternal and Child Health (MCH) outcomes by addressing child nutrition and improving access to and quality of ante- and post-natal care.
