tailieunhanh - Preventing Child Maltreatment and Promoting Well-Being: A Network for Action

Cross-cutting finding: The Ugandan government is making strides in improving quality and has several initiatives underway. The MoH has established a new quality improvement program including existing guidelines for all services at national facilities and in some cases district/health facilities in the public sector. It continues to harmonize and update guidelines, particularly those related to the use of Village Health Teams, is drafting non-communicable disease guidelines, and has introduced accreditation systems in the Uganda Catholic Medical Bureau (UCMB) and HIV programs. Although MoH has many of the pieces in place to improve quality, there is much more to be done. | 2012 RESOURCE GUIDE Preventing Child Maltreatment and Promoting Well-Being A Network for Action DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH HUMAN SERVICES Administration for Children and Families Administration on Children Youth and Families 1250 Maryland Avenue .
