Implementing the WHO’s Emergency Care Systems toolkit: a qualitative study for facilitators and barriers
This study has outlined the significant factors related to implementing the WHO-ECS toolkit in a low-income setting. Support from project implementers and hospital administrators as well as key stakeholder involvement facilitates success. Conversely, lack of support and resources as well as toolkits misaligned with context can hamper it. Comparable healthcare setups can use these lessons before and during implementation.
