Diabetes service decentralization to primary healthcare unit in Tigray, Ethiopia: A pilot study
There is no significant difference in the diabetes service among the primary and tertiary hospital. Diabetes service can be decentralized to primary health care facilities without compromising the quality of diabetic care. Further large implementational study is necessary to overcome the problems in the decentralization of service delivery in diabetes service.
