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.
