Paediatric care in hospitals in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan: impact of a quality improvement initiative
A set of quality improvement measures led to improvements in the hospitals. Irrational antibiotic prescribing, overmedicalisation, and unjustified hospitalisation continue to be issues related to the broader health system. Systemic issues, including human resource constraints, infrastructure limitations, and supply shortages, need to be addressed. Scaling up the project to other hospitals would improve the overall quality of care.
