PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Health Minister Syed Qasim Ali Shah on Friday inaugurated the District Health Information System-2, which would help improve health reporting mechanism. Talking to mediapersons after the inauguration, Mr Ali said that the system would further improve the health reporting.

“Implementation of the District Health Information System-2 was inevitable for advanced reporting. Initially, the system is being implemented in five districts,” the minister said, adding that the training of manpower for implementing the system in other districts was continuing, and soon the upgraded system would be extended to the entire province.

“With the system in place, it will be possible to better monitor the provision of resources and services of the health department,” he said.
