Healthcare quality activities in the new pediatric surgery department at Bobo-Dioulasso University Hospital, Burkina Faso

Our NGO has established an interdisciplinary dynamic to strengthen the quality and safety of pediatric surgical care. Participatory clinical tools have been deployed in the field, accompanied by a database for monitoring key indicators (surgical checklist, sponge count, etc.). Protocols and guidelines have been developed for key interventions, and practices are enhanced through clinical research and national presentations, ensuring a continuous improvement process for the quality of care.
