The role of the District Management Team (DMT) is to:
- Mix and allocate the available resources in the best possible way to meet the basic health needs of the community they serve.
- Ultimately the aim is to improve the health status of the community they serve.
In order to do this, the DMT has to manage resources and services according to a District Health Plan, the strategic plan for the district. The District Health Plan outlines what the district would like to achieve, what for and how it will assess achievement.
