Assessment of surgical capacity and productivity in high-volume Ethiopian hospitals: mixed method study
Ethiopia's surgical system shows promising innovations in select hospitals, yet national scale-up is hindered by infrastructure gaps, uneven workforce distribution, and inconsistent safety practices. Addressing these challenges requires data-driven planning, targeted investment in underserved regions, and expanded use of digital systems and collaborative networks to promote best practice adoption across facilities.
