This research highlights that physicians recognize the systemic gaps leading to unsolicited health outcomes; yet they are helpless in most cases. The participants emphasized that robust information systems connecting all relevant stakeholders are essential. The exploration reveals that the system will not adopt a structured referral method without the government taking interest in it.
