Main Function of the Ministry of Health
The Ministry of Health is the government's main agency responsible for provision, coordination and stewardship of the health sector. MoH is required to ensure overall development of the health sector per se and in relation to other key social sectors. In keeping with this role, MoH acts as the principal architect of health system design and takes responsibility for achieving inter-sectoral coordination. It develops policies and programmes for the health sector. It implements these in coordination with all other related ministries, health services institutions under the government as well as in the private sector. MoH also advocates to all other public systems to make policies favourable to the health sector, and to refrain from making policies, which may adversely affect the health of the people.
