In this study, we observed that disposable gloves performed better in the timeliness and completeness of the MoH-mandated HIV indicator reports in Kenya Food gloves. This seems paradoxical, given the general perception that private institutions are often ‘better’ at meeting quality and reporting requirements.

The better performance by the public sector could likely be due to significant investments in care and reporting in the public sector by programs such as Global Fund and PEPFAR. Further investigation is needed to help highlight why 2017 saw a reversal in the trend for CT and PMTCT indicators, with this finding further highlighting need for consistent re-evaluations of performance.

Our study only looks at yearly dimensions, but further analyses could be done by county, facility level, and facility type. This work highlights the key potential of how aggregate reporting data can be used to inform decision-making. Qualitative studies can further help highlight factors promoting or hindering quality indicator reporting. 5 Conclusion In this study, we observed a general trend of public facilities in outperforming private facilities in timeliness and completeness of health facility reporting of nationallymandated HIV indicators YICHANG.
