Hospital Management Training and Capacity Development in Kabul, Afghanistan

Agency : Ministry of Public Health, Afghanistan

The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), Islamic Republic of Afghanistan assigned IIHMR the task of training and consulting for improving hospital services in the country. The project was supported by Development Assistance Facility for Afghanistan (DAFA), under Australian Aid. The twin assignments included a gap analysis in 16 central hospitals in Kabul against the best industry standards, and providing coaching and mentoring support to implement the quality improvement interventions. Based on the findings of the gap analysis, training modules were developed. IIHMR organized Master Training programs in Kabul for the selected senior hospital administrators, doctors and nurses. About 450 persons were trained from various categories of the central hospitals in Afghanistan.

A Quality Improvement (QI) project plan was prepared in consultation with the hospital directors. Quality circles were established at each hospital and the staff members were oriented to implement the QI plan. IIHMR did a hand-holding of the staff in order to implement the QI interventions.
