National Healthcare Quality and Safety Strategy (NQSS) 2021-2025 (2013-2017 Efy)

Abstract

The National Healthcare Quality and Safety Strategy (2021-2025) is a continuation of the previous National Quality Strategy (2016-2020). The approach for preparing this strategy document was informed by the previous quality strategy implementation. Based on the lesson gathered from the previous National Quality Strategy evaluation, the current National Healthcare Quality and Safety Strategy document has established a transparent and participatory process of development involving the diffract directorates in the ministry of health and agencies, patient and professional associations, partners, and health facilities. The development process had three teams. The Writing Team, primarily responsible for the overall drafting of the strategic document; the Technical Team which consists of the three technical working groups; National quality working group, national healthcare safety working group, and Maternal and neonatal Health quality of care working group that provided technical inputs through consultative workshops and regular meetings; and the National Quality Steering Committee for guidance and approval in the overall preparation of the strategy.
