Lessons learned from the promotion of Essential Emergency and Critical Care in Tanzania – a qualitative study
The integration of EECC into Tanzania's health policy is a result of a multidisciplinary collaboration including government and partners that has used evidence, advocacy and context and included multifaceted implementation strategies. The lessons from Tanzania's experience provide guidance for adoption in similar settings to improve critical care systems, foster access to care and optimal outcomes for all critically ill patients.
