Partnerships for safer health service delivery: evaluation of WHO African Partnerships for Patient Safety 2009-2014

Overview

This evaluation of African Partnerships for Patient Safety (APPS) is the third in a series of evaluations issued since 2009. It focuses predominantly on the results of the second wave of partnerships and explores the programme’s impact on the safety and strengthening of health care service delivery. The findings are of particular relevance in the current global health context. As the report describes, APPS is concerned with building the necessary resilience to ensure that hospitals can withstand shocks such as those posed by the recent outbreak of Ebola virus disease in West Africa.
