Description
Summary:Quality of care is one of the pillars that underpin the Family and Community Health Model (MOSAFC) implementation. One of the critical elements to deliver quality of care lies in the problem-solving capability of health professionals across all levels of care. Key training, e.g. Diploma in Hospital Administration, mirrors the commitment undertaken by the Nicaragua Ministry of Health towards institutional capacity building. This diploma course has helped hospitals complete their health diagnoses and develop strategic plans including four-year multi-year goals and results-based budgeting proposals. The Ministry of Health has in place a Health Continuing Education Strategy across all levels of care for 2017-2021.
