Research Findings

RESEARCH FINDINGS

Each PhD thesis focuses on one of six dimensions of health care quality as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO):

• effectiveness;
• safety;
• efficiency;
• access;
• equitability;
• acceptability.
  

Below we are delighted to present our research findings in form of scientific publications and policy briefs.
