Evaluation of the Seventh Malaysian Health Plan: a new approach.
Since the First Malaysia Plan (1966-1970) many reviews have been done on the five-year health plans of the Ministry of Health (MOH). These included the Mid-Term Reviews and the review done at the end of the respective five-year plan period. There was no structured evaluation method carried out until the Seventh Malaysia Plan (7MP) period (1996-2000), among others because of the complexity of the MOH health plans. The evaluation of the 7MP was the first one conducted using a better-structured process. The findings and recommendations of the evaluation were used and incorporated in the subsequent 5-year health plan, under the Eighth Malaysia Plan (2001-2005).
