Webinar | Driving Quality Healthcare: Lessons from the Ideal Clinic Initiative in South Africa
Categories: Announcements
“An Ideal Clinic is defined as a clinic with good infrastructure, adequate staff, adequate medicine and supplies, good administrative processes, and sufficient adequate bulk supplies. It uses applicable clinical policies, protocols and guidelines, and it harnesses partner and stakeholder support. An Ideal Clinic collaborates with other government departments, the private sector and non-governmental organisations to address the social determinants of health. Integrated Clinical Services Management is a key focus.” – Ideal Clinic, South Africa.
