Understanding the accountability issues of the immunization workforce for the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) in Balochistan: An exploratory study

Among all provinces of Pakistan, immunization coverage is poorest in Balochistan. There is no provincial immunization policy for Balochistan including a lack of human resource management policy. Maladministration and lack of accountability leading to health workforce demotivation and poor performance can be a crucial reason behind an inefficient and ineffective immunization program in Balochistan. The objective of this study was to better understand the accountability issues of EPI workforce at provincial and district level leading to poor program performance and to identify governance strategies for management of inefficiency, demotivation and absenteeism.
