An effective health management information system plays a pivotal role in evidence-based decision-making and strengthening health service delivery in a country. The Directorate General of Health Services and the Directorate General of Family Planning of Bangladesh have adopted digital health management information system platforms named district health information system and management information system, respectively. Despite its significance, health management information system data has numerous issues, such as missing values, inaccuracies, lack of internal consistency, and the presence of outliers. This study aims to assess the data quality of reproductive health indicators in the health management information system of the Directorate General of Health Services and the Directorate General of Family Planning.
This research emphasises the significance of rectifying missing values, ensuring consistency, and improving reporting systems, with a particular focus on lower-tier health facilities, to enhance the validity and reliability of reproductive health data in Bangladesh.
