FORWARD BY THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH, HIV AND AIDS It is now time for implementation. Health is everybody's business but it is your role, as health professionals to lead and facilitate the path to success. In September 2012, the National Executive Council of the Government of Papua New Guinea took the first steps in setting clear priorities for health as part of the "Alotau Accord for a Government of Reconciliation, Unity and Hope for Stability and Prosperity". My Government is committed to providing health services, which are accessible and affordable. It is the poor that
suffer the most when services are not available or are not within their financial reach. Aid posts must stay open, drugs must be supplied and hospitals must be rehabilitated. The Government has endorsed the Free Primary Health Care and Subsidised Specialist Services Policy and expects this policy to commence implementation immediately. This policy will increase access to services for the poor and will compliment the back to basics strategies of the National Health Plan 2011-2020. I am pleased to see that this new Corporate Plan 2013-2015 focuses on the Governments key priorities and welcome its commitment to good governance and enhancing partnerships with stakeholders. By the end of this plan we will have journeyed half the distance on our Lakatoi, we must ensure that the second half of the journey has the wind behind its sails. I challenge you now to use the resources you have available, over the next three years to improve the lives of the people in rural areas and urban settlements. These are the people we are here to serve and these are the people that need our help the most. Hon. Michael Bill Malabag, OBE, MP. Minister for Health, HIV and AIDS

MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY FOR HEALTH The National Department of Health Corporate Plan 2013 – 2015 has been developed both in response to the Government’s reform agenda and the need to ensure our leadership and management frameworks are keeping up with international best practice. Fundamental to our strategic vision is the need to continuously improve, transform, and providing quality health services through innovative approaches supporting primary health care and health system development and good governance at all levels.
In presenting this Plan we want to provide a clear picture of our future plans as well as give an insight into the strategies being pursued for the betterment of the country and improvement of health service delivery. The plan provides the platform on how the department as a lead sector organisation will work towards achieving those new priorities set out under the Alotau- Accord 2012, and existing strategies of the National Health Plan 2011 – 2020. The following are the major priorities and focus areas for the health sector and this plan for the period 2013-2015: Implement the Free Primary Health Care and Subsidized Specialist Services; Roll out health reforms of Provincial Health Authorities and improve our
governance and service delivery at provincial levels; Improve the Medical Supplies distribution system; Strengthen our support to Church Health Services; Develop and implement the Health Workforce Plan; and Improve Health Infrastructure.
Our key corporate responsibility is to promote good governance, improve performance and accountability. For the first time the plan brings together the legal mandate of the Department, our priorities to the NHP and Health Sector Strategic Priorities [HSSP] 2013 – 2015 and the internal enabling and improvement activities required to meet the Department’s various obligations. The successful realisation of the plan hinges on everyone who will be involved in the process of implementing this plan; the Senior Executive Management Team and staff. I also value the support and commitment of the Development Partners, Churches, Private Sector Partners, Non-Government Organisations and Central Agencies who will provide support and work collaboratively to implement this plan. I encourage everyone to take ownership and demonstrate leadership and commit themselves to move the department’s corporate vision forward. Pascoe Kase Secretary for Health

INTRODUCTION The National Department of Health Corporate Plan 2013-2015 represents a new direction and standard for health service governance and leadership. The plan will establish for the first time, business rules that are designed to provide a powerful tool for departmental executives and managers to simplify processes, to effectively address health management complexities and importantly improve communication between departments and units. The departments planning framework demonstrates an integration of planning activities and business processes and provides a clear linkage between our strategies, structure and the processes that will be undertaken to achieve our health outcomes. While the key Strategic Priorities (see Table 1) for the next three years includes many of the activities that are our Core Business, and are well know, it is the Government's priorities from the Alotau Accord and its “Platform For Action” on Free Health Care Policy and Health Infrastructure that has mobilised our innovative thinking and guided our action plans. The strategic implementation plan (at Annex 3) expands on the Strategic Priorities and maps out the actions to be undertaken over the next three (3) years. The legislative functions of the various levels of Government in relation to Health are clearly defined under the Organic Law on Provincial Governments and Local Level Governments Organic Law (1996), the National Health Administration Act (1997), Public Hospitals Act (1994) and more recently the Provincial Health Authorities Act (2007).The National Government has overall responsibility for providing health services to its people, overseeing the health system and establishing and implementing national policy. In summary, our role is to guide and influence policy directions to the health sector, support the National Health Board to develop and recommend the National Health Plan to Government, develop standards that are evidence based and sustainable, monitor the implementation of the National Health Plan (and Standards) and provide technical assistance and support to Provinces. We have obligations under several other pieces of legislation which demand effective corporate governance systems and the delivery of mandatory reporting. It is also important to recognise that it is the Department’s responsibility to ensure there is a clear sense of purpose and direction at the national level. Each level of Government and the various providers have their own challenges. It is also incumbent on leaders to lead and this is an important step in mapping our journey. The department’s Governance Committee framework, Delegation Manuals, Performance Management Framework and Risk Management processes will provide a comprehensive suite of leadership and management tools to meet our strategic challenges.

Provincial Health Authorities are responsible for complete health services in the province. Non-Government care providers must operate a facility or provide a service/program in a manner that complies with the NHP, policies, standards and operational directives as a condition of any grant. Powers are contained in the Public Hospitals Act 1994 and the Provincial Health Authorities Act 2007 for public hospitals or Provincial Health Authorities to delegate powers and functions to Non-Government Organisations and enable a declared health service to be run by the Non-Government Organisation. The proper administration of the NDoH also requires compliance with the Public Service (Management) Act 1995 and the Public Finances (Management) Act 1995. Other Acts and subordinate legislations and other legal instruments that have relevance to the NDoH are listed in Annex 2.

National Health Plan 2011-2020
Figure 1 - National Health Plan 2011-2020 The launch in August 2010 of the new National Health Plan 2011-2020 was the culmination of two years of work by a wide range of stakeholders in the health sector. A comprehensive review of our indicators and progress revealed a need to focus on a back to basics approach and mobilize available resources to rehabilitating a system in crisis. Following one year of implementation, some progress has been made, however an increase in momentum needs to occur for us to meet our targets for the mid term review in 2015/2016.
National Health Service Standards Complementing the NHP, the National Health Service Standards (NHSS) provides the direction and guidance for safe quality health care and informs clients, communities and stakeholders of the health services which they can expect to be available at each of the various levels of service delivery.
Health Sector Strategic Priorities 2013-2015 (Incorporating the GoPNG MTDP 2011-2015) To provide a more focused and unified approach to service delivery, KRA strategies within the NHP have been prioritised under the Health Sector Strategic Priorities – 2013-2015. These priority strategies will be the focus for all health agencies and the

NDoH branch’s over the next (3) three years. These priorities are aligned to the Government's own Medium Term Development Plan 2011-2015.
The Alotau Accord (2012) In late 2012, the Government of PNG described what it called its "Platform for Action". In the document, the Alotau Accord for a Government of Reconciliation, Unity and Hope for Stability and Prosperity, the key priorities for health for the 9th term of Parliament were detailed. This key document articulated the Government vision, mission and strategies and is a formal statement of Government policy. Central to this new policy is the implementation of the Free Primary Health Care and Subsidized Specialist Health Care.
Alignment to Government Planning Framework In 2010 the Government released its vision for the Nation over the next 40 years. The Department of National Planning expanded that Vision into the Development Strategic Plan 2010-2020 and the Medium Term Development Plan 2011-2015. The cascading logic planning framework shown below demonstrates the alignment of the health sector plans to the Vision 2050. The National Health Plan 2011 – 2020 and subsequent plans of the department (including the Corporate Plan 2013-2015) acknowledges the higher-level strategies and goals of the national development plans and Vision 2050.

Our Challenges Critical to our success is our ability to respond to the challenges and changes occurring in the internal and external environment. The environment we operate in has a significant impact on the way we conduct health business and the cost of meeting our statutory responsibilities. Major challenges include; The complexity of public sector service delivery channels and levels, including
the whole of government approach. Parallel and dual health system at the service delivery level. The difficulties in policy implementation, not linear and coupled with
competitive interests both political and bureaucratic levels. The ever increasing reliance on and complexity of information technology
system. The continuing need to meet government and legislative reporting and standard
requirements. Shortage of health workers difficulties with retention and recruitment. The increased focus on the social determinants of health, where root causes of
health problems are outside of the health sector's responsibilities or domain. Continued attention to sound corporate governance. The need to improve mind-set in attitudes and behaviour towards
organizational change and culture. The need to work on effective processes, systems and sound management and
practices which meet our business needs. Increased focus on audit and legislative compliance and miscellaneous
In order that we have a good sense of our operational environment and the direction, we are taking as the lead agency of the health sector, we will continuously review and improve processes, support our structures and procedures to deliver optimum performance.

THE STRATEGIC PRIORITIES 2013-2015 The Corporate Plan 2013-2015 identifies Health Sector Strategic Priorities including those outlined under the Alotau-Accord. In addition to the priorities, the National Department of Health recognizes that it has obligations under various key legislations and wider cross government policy arrangements. These strategies, together with the relevant National Health Plan strategies will be the basis of each Branch and Unit’s Annual Implementation Plan and budget preparation. The operational boundaries within which the department’s branches and units will operate to implement the strategies are outlined within the NDoH Business Rules and Governance Framework.
Free Primary Health Care and Subsidized Specialist Health Care The GoPNG introduced the Free Primary Health Care and Subsidised Specialist Health Care as an additional health sector priority focus over the next three years. The commitment of the government to this policy direction is supported by NDoH and compliments the National Health Plan's strategy to improve and strengthen access to primary health care and support to the rural majority and urban disadvantaged. The department will develop implementation strategies and ensure the legal governing framework is established to successfully implement the policy. The Direct Facility Funding pilot in Bougainville will be further examined to determine its applicability in other Provinces, especially through Facility Level Budgeting and Financing.
Improved health infrastructure Much of the rural health infrastructure has collapsed over the last two decades. The need to improve and maintain the health system’s physical infrastructure is compounded by the pressure and the need for new service delivery models by health professionals and an increasing demand for services. It is the intention of the Department to restore confidence to the rural Papua New Guineans through the development and improvement of our health infrastructure. Plans are in place to rehabilitate and upgrade key health infrastructure particularly in the rural areas. We will prioritise the rehabilitation of our district hospitals, health centres and aid posts, build more Community Health Posts, and maintain staff houses to increase confidence in the people to obtain health services at their doorstep.

Medical Supply Procurement and Distribution The Department will be looking at improving the existing medical supplies procurement and distribution system. The service improvement programs will be supported to put in place a strategic procurement plan to strengthen internal procurement processes so there is timely and reliable delivery of drugs, equipment and supplies to our health facilities. The supporting infrastructure plans to rationalise medical stores and build capacity for provincial transit stores have been incorporated in the Health MTDP 2011 – 2015 and implementation began in 2012.
Health Workforce Planning In response to the World Bank report1 which quantified the crisis of an aging and declining health workforce in the country, the Government of PNG endorsed the Health Human Resource Policy. To support the implementation of this policy a health Workforce Plan (arrest and long term plan) is being developed and will be completed before end of 2013. Part of the arrest plan will be to recruit doctors, registered nurses and specialised health workers locally and abroad to boost the declining health workforce and address gaps for critical cadres of health workers. The department will over the next (3) three years focus on the development of training plans and support capacity building to our training institutions to ensure they produce qualified and accredited health workforce. The aim is to develop and implement affordable health sector workforce recruitment and retention strategies to provide a quality workforce capable of meeting the health needs into the future.
Provincial Health Authorities Implementation and Roll Out Improving health systems is an important priority under the new health plan. The dual health systems at provincial level have caused much confusion and disagreements over the manner in which health services have been provided to the people. Implementing the Provincial Health Authority will clarify roles and promote service integration. Transition to the Provincial Health Authorities has been implemented in three (3) Provinces (Western Highlands, Milne Bay and Eastern Highlands) and is expected to be rolled out to more Provinces over the next (3) three years.

15
Support the Church Health Services The department is committed to increasing its support to the Church Health Services who provide more than 60% of rural health services to the people of Papua New Guinea. The Partnership Policy will be finalised to increase the use of outsourcing and enhancing Public-Private Partnership arrangements with Church health service providers. The support for the National Health Service Standards roll out will be widened to include Church health service providers.
We will improve our support to Churches and make available on timely basis; medical supplies, equipment and drugs in all registered facilities. We will work in partnership with the Churches to address outstanding issues relating to terms and conditions of salaries and/or remuneration packages.
Improved Governance
A key focus area is to ensure we improve and align our governance systems, processes and structures to the corporate objectives. We will strengthen our performance management and financial systems and ensure that funding is released on a timely and efficient manner. The audit system is to be revitalised. There will be ongoing review of the organisational structure to reflect corporate strategies and service demands.
Leadership and executive development are part of governance improvement processes and will remain an important agenda for the department’s management improvement strategies.

OUR CORPORATE GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK The National Department of Health recognises the need for a strong corporate governance framework that maximises its potential to perform at an efficient and effective level. The National Department of Health embraces the eight (8) principles of governance derived from the ‘light house model’2 of good governance. Compliance of the eight (8) corporate governance principles will involve the implementation of seventeen (17) strategies related to each of the eight (8) principles.

Making Our Governance Framework Work The National Department of Health will realise good corporate governance in accordance with our governance framework through: Governance Committee Structure Business Rules
Governance Committee Structure The National Department of Health has aligned its management structure to the Corporate Objectives. The Governance Structure (Figure 4) is designed to move away from the siloed models of the past by providing a cross-sectional and multi-disciplinary approach to the functioning and decision making processes of NDoH. The structure’s combination of formal Committees (with delegated powers), working groups and management teams at various operational encourage flexibility and adoptability to decision making at each of the management levels. We have included the Advisory mechanisms at the far right side of the Governance Structure as a way of acknowledging the importance we place on the role of our partners and stakeholders in improving the overall governance and performance of NDoH and the health sector as a whole.

Business Rules Business rules have been developed in line with the NHP policy directives and/or mandated legislated responsibilities in accordance with branch or unit delineation roles and responsibilities. This process sets the operational boundaries from which the department will operate to meet the service delivery challenges outlined within the NHP KRA strategies. Simply, the business rules state how we run the day to day operations of the department. To realise good corporate governance, the business rules simply define;
The Functions, Roles and Responsibilities delineated at each Wing, Division, Branch
and Unit. They will be strictly defined according to the relevant legislative instruments and give a clear understanding of the role of NDoH.
The financial and non-financial authority delegation by Secretary to specified officers, positions and committees through a Delegation Manual. The underlying intention is to facilitate the effective and efficient operation of the NDoH within the boundaries set by the Secretary and relevant GoPNG legislation and policy.
Our Risk Management strategy that is consistent and uses a structured enterprise-wide approach.
Operational procedures for operationalising our governance structure. Leadership and Mentoring Policy and Procedures. How we intend to instil discipline and encourage NDoH employees to uphold the
NDoH Values and the Public Service Code of Conduct.

Organisational transition plan
NDoH organisational Structure The Secretary and the Senior Executive Management team at the operational level are responsible for the day to day business operations of the department. The departments approved structure (Table 3) reflects the corporate strategies and objectives. For improved management and administration there will be ongoing review of the organisational structure as part of managing risks. Table 3 - NDoH Organisation Chart

Transition Plan –Realignment of Non NDoH legislated Activities In accordance with the legislative mandate of the NDoH, a number of services and/ or processes linked directly with patient and/or health service delivery, and under the direct administration of the department, will require transition arrangement to alternative service providers or health agencies within the lifespan of the NHP. Consultation with national agencies and relevant health service agencies is a mandatory requirement to ensure a smooth transition of services and/or processes. In respect to national clinical services to be transferred, a Service Level Agreement will be required outlining the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved. The respective Executive Managers will be responsible for the successful implementation of this transitional program within the established timeframes. The transfer of responsibility for the above services and processes to agencies outside of the NDoH will necessitate a revision of Business Rules, organisational structure and position descriptions within divisions or branches impacted by the transition arrangements.

OUR PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK The Department’s performance management system is an integrated and aligned set of strategies and activities designed to improve the performance of individuals, teams and the NDoH overall. It provides a means to recognise and reward good performance, to manage and rectify under-performance and ensure that NDoH goals and objectives are consistently met in an efficient and effective manner. A review of the department’s overall performance against the Corporate Plan, incorporating the above reporting areas, will be conducted on an annual basis. In addition the Quarterly Review’s focus will be able to identify under-performance, non-compliance, and develop actions to close the performance gaps. The annual review’s more strategic focus will enhance the Department’s efficiency, effectiveness and management of both core and new business. The annual review will look at the following approach to monitor and asses the NDoH's corporate performance; 1. Whether the department is performing its mandatory functions and
responsibilities or not (results monitoring); 2. Whether the department is performing its accountability responsibilities under
all the legislation which affect it as a public entity; 3. Whether the department is performing these functions and responsibilities and
accountable for the resources provided (Finance, HR, Assets etc.); 4. Whether Ministerial reports and briefs requested by the Secretary for Health
have been delivered in a timely manner and with the acceptable degree of quality;
5. Whether the Risk Protocol is fully maintained and operational and that risk management processes are functioning.
Added to the above the NDoH will deliver a Sector Performance Annual Review. The Monitoring and Evaluation Branch will coordinate the delivery of this report and monitor all activities responsible at the department through the twenty nine (29) Core Indicators of the Monitoring and Evaluation plan. Annual Performance will be assessed against the twenty nine 29 Core Indicators and planned performance targets and KPI benchmarks. Monitoring and reporting will be undertaken through:
