Long-term outcomes of a paediatric quality improvement project in Central Asia: changes take time, time for a change
The QI project resulted in improvements in clinical practice in both countries, which were sustainable in the long term only in one country. The differences in long-term benefits may be attributable to factors within the health system environment. Issues related to health governance for, health financing, and health workforce were largely disregarded during the project's design and implementation, yet may be crucial for sustainability.
