According to the Ministry of Health, a new primary healthcare guideline would be implemented in Ethiopia to ensure uniformity and quality of health service delivery in all health centers and places. The ministry is launching public healthcare guideline to provide qualified and well-organized service throughout the nation.
One of the major setbacks to health service delivery in Ethiopia is believed to be inequity and the need to provide quality integrated health care for all its citizens. Primary public healthcare is aimed as the way to provide quality and reliable health service. Standard treatment guidelines and the essential health service packages have been developed for implementation at health centers and institutions across the country.
Healthcare infrastructure development coverage has reached 85 percent in health institutions, but there is a gap in delivering quality health service. To solve the problem and to satisfy the community, the ministry feels that health care guideline is the most important tool.
The guideline will be able to provide up-to-date information relevant to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of common diseases in Ethiopia which helps to achieve stipulation of quality care to patients or customers.
