South Africa Quantitative Pixley ka Seme: Facility findings
Human resources for health. In contrast with comparison facilities, facilities with HealthRise programs averaged somewhat higher levels of total human resources for health at endline (36.0 total staff) than at baseline (29.1 total staff) (Figure 26). The opposite trend appeared to occur for comparison facilities, with average total human resources for health registering as comparable or slightly lower at endline (26.1 total staff) than at baseline. A similar pattern took place for community caregivers (Figure 27), with HealthRise facilities recording an average of 16.2 community caregivers at endline. Conversely, at baseline, HealthRise facilities averaged 10.0 community caregivers. Comparison facilities reported similar community caregiver staffing at baseline and endline (i.e., an average of about 11 per facility); in combination, these findings point to HealthRise program implementation as a potential factor in community caregiver staffing.
