Health workers’ perspectives on barriers and opportunities to optimising quality improvement implementation in urban health facilities in Lilongwe, Malawi
Improving QI utilisation in Option B+ requires mobilising resources and having a structured feedback and mentorship mechanisms. Targeted incentives/reimbursements for HCWs and peer-to-peer learning through exchange visits between facilities can further enhance QI. Therefore, a blended QI approach incorporating these recommendations is needed to better support HCWs in delivering evidence-based interventions, strengthen the health system and may improve engagement outcomes.
