S Afr Med J. 2023 Dec 4;113(12):13. doi: 10.7196/SAMJ.2023.v113i12.1614.ABSTRACTIn this article, we review the monitoring and evaluation system that is used to measure the performance of primary healthcare delivered through the district health system and district management teams. We then review some global frameworks, especially linked to the World Health Organization, and look at some of the differences between what is internationally recommended and what we do in South Africa. We end with some recommendations to improve the system.PMID:38525618 | DOI:10.7196/SAMJ.2023.v113i12.1614
