Local Health Management Committees (CLAS)
The Local Health Management Committees (Span. CLAS) are health management bodies at the local / community level, constituted as an alternative to state management and private management. They are formed as civil associations with citizen / community participation that act according to a model of co-management along with the State. In practice, they are in charge of executing the budget and conducting concrete actions of general health policy, such as: diagnosing health needs and demands of the population, identifying personnel and infrastructure needs for the provision of services, and carrying out Annual action plans. They are also involved in the definition of national health plans and in local development plans with programmatic contributions.
