• PAEDIATRICS CHECKLIST

     

    Welcome to the PAEDIATRICS Checklist for PROJECT HEAL. Thank you for accepting to be part of our group of experts. This checklist consists of resources i.e. manpower, skills, consumables, equipment that are deemed relevant for a health facility to be deemed PAEDIATRICS competent or biased. Please read and select the relevance level of the underlisted.


    The relevant resources would be scored and used in developing a system of ranking. The total scores will be used to develop a checklist for which hospitals can independently administer to determine their level of health care provision based on specific specialization and over score. These can then inform the emergency care services, referral facilities, health workers, and the general public on which facility provides which level of care.


    Be assured your response is confidential. Only aggregated results would be seen by the Delphi group.


    You can save your progress and continue later. When you click the “Save” button, select “skip create account” and enter your email so you would be sent a link to continue where you left off.
