This webinar took a deep dive into the pediatric quality of care indicators and shared latest updates from pathfinder countries Kenya and Sierra Leone that moved ahead with efforts to introduce the pediatric quality of care indicators in their national health information systems. Country teams shared their experiences, lessons learned and next steps to advance pediatric QoC measurement at country level based on this effort, and the audience gained practical recommendations to adapt to their countries.

This was the second webinar in a series on pediatric quality of care co-hosted by the Network for Improving Quality of Care for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health and the Quality of Care Subgroup of the Child Health Task Force.
