^aThe GFATM stopped its Chinese operations between May and December, 2011, HPA’s Health Information System in the five special regions of Myanmar established and maintained by the GFATM grants, could run only for four months (January to April), n = 4 X 563409/12 = 187803 person-years. In 2012, HPA spent the first half of the year to recruit new staff and restore project activities, n = 6 × 572 678/12 = 286 339 person-years
