With less than half the number of doctors necessary to adequately treat the population in the Sindh district of Pakistan, the availability of doctors is crucial to maintaining the health of the population. HOPE conducted this study to assess the rate of absenteeism among doctors from their place of work, and the impact of absenteeism on the quality of health services and the amount of money lost to it.

Upcoming PETS Resource

As part of its new grant window on public expenditure tracking and absenteeism studies, TAP is producing a guide based on lessons learned, challenges faced, and strategies developed by former grantees. Following a six-step process from Developing a Topic to Undertaking Evidence-Based Advocacy, we will carefully outline the activities that PETS can involve and stories from practitioners who have been involved in "Learning by Doing" PETS exercises in the past. Expected Summer 2009.
