The sustainability of the project rated fair in the ex-post evaluation report. Some problems have been observed in financial aspects, and current status of operation, maintenance and management to maintain facilities and medical equipment. Although almost all of main medical equipment has been maintained appropriately, MB hospital has difficulties to ensure enough funding for repair of some equipment and for recruiting new medical and administrative staffs mainly due to insufficient budget allocation from Ministry of Health (MOH). |
