Bridging the diagnostic gap: diagnostic capacity and pediatric quality of care in LMICs
This multi-country observational study identifies a positive association between diagnostic readiness and the quality of pediatric care in LMICs. These findings suggest that diagnostic capacity may serve as an enabling structural condition for delivering higher-quality pediatric care in LMICs, reinforcing the role of diagnostics within health system strengthening strategies.
