Yesterday, I was part of the African Society of Quality in Healthcare meeting on improving Quality and Patient Safety in Africa.
A focus on Continuous Quality improvement will ensure that the Nigerian Healthcare system rises to the level of Excellence it should be at.
Dr. Kunle Onakoya of Lagoon Hospital stated that healthcare should not be a lottery, where quality is a game of chance.
I agree, Everytime you walk into a hospital you should be assured of quality Healthcare services.
How can we kickstart this quality movement in Nigeria and Africa?
For the 4th time, Lagoon Hospitals is JCI accredited.
How do we ensure this oasis of excellence becomes an ocean of excellence that invades every hospital in Nigeria and Africa ?
Quality Healthcare is not optional.
As a Healthcare worker, you can start your quality journey by doing courses on QI by IHI , National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ) , SQHN Page, ISQua https://lnkd.in/dFkJTKTJ
As a patient, ask questions, demand for quality, it is your right.
As a policy maker, Quality is the focus
