Abstract:
Rationale: Over the past 20 years, the Federal Ministry of Health has been focusing on improving the quality of health care through designing and implementing different strategies and initiatives and it will remain a major area of focus in the years to come. The HSTP, one of the major health sector plan, has set out quality improvement and assurance as one of its pillars of excellence which are believed to help the sector to achieve its mission and vision. The Ministry has also developed a five-year National Health Care Quality strategy to aid the attainment of the HSTP goals. Therefore this Training manual is prepared in response to gaps (mainly standardization, design and delivery) of existing quality improvement training manual. Moreover, as a standardized training manual, it is also aimed to contribute to the accomplishment of the goals and strategies of quality improvement in the Health sector.
