Health Q Egypt

active

The Egypt Healthcare Quality Project consists of two components: Component 1: Advisory work to upgrade quality assurance in healthcare facilities. The project will work with healthcare facilities to increase the quality of care. The team will apply advisory offerings with varying level of depth and interaction with clients. We expect that the three major demanded offerings are (i) rapid quality assessment, (ii) full quality assessment, and (iii) implementation support. Component 2: Enhancing awareness of healthcare quality and patient safety issues by medical facilities and capacity to advise healthcare facilities on such issues across the healthcare sector in Egypt by: (a) delivering of awareness events and (b) providing training to local healthcare quality service providers to develop a cadre of experts who can advise healthcare facilities in the future. IFC’s healthcare quality assessments and follow up quality improvement programs will provide clients with clear understanding of the deficiencies in quality and action plans to implement improvements. A knowledge base on health quality assurance will be made available to clinics, hospitals and diagnostic centers. The service will become more accessible to clients in Egypt through development of qualified consultants who can deliver assessments and thus facilitate tangible improvements in processes and quality of care. The project will promote and support good practice that directly contributes to the continued development of health services in Egypt, as health care providers with better quality assurance practices are more likely to attract investment. With improvements in quality assurance processes and practices implemented by medical facilities in the region, more patients in Egypt will receive access to safe and quality health care.
