Lagos State Health Facility Assessment Tool

Health Systems Consult Limited (HSCL) conducted a health facility assessment as part of its technical assistance to Lagos State Health Management Agency (LASHMA). The data collected during the health facility assessment will provide the necessary information for the effective implementation of the Lagos State Health Scheme (LSHS). The specific objectives for the health facility assessment were to determine the distribution pattern of the different types of health facilities in Lagos State, the current level of service availability and general service readiness in health facilities, the level of service-specific readiness of health care facilities in Lagos State, and to provide high-priority services on the LSHS. The data was collected across the following thematic areas: human resources, basic infrastructure, basic medical equipment and infection prevention, health services in health facilities, medical supplies and commodities, health insurance coverage, financial management system, and clinical governance.
