Description
Agumas Ayalew and four co-authors asked how safety practices fare in clinics with thin resources in the Awi Zone of Ethiopia, in a study published in 2025. Their team watched 51 care acts, ran eight group talks, and held 19 in-depth interviews with staff from ward to zone office. Two themes came out: how safety is done, and how to lift it.
Safety practice ran low to moderate, and varied by site. Five fix fields won wide backing: facilities and supply chains, training, community voice, firm rules with enforcement, and staff management with habit change. The authors say habit fixes alone will not hold. Teams, voice, and steady monitoring must make safety a daily norm. The map is presented for similar thin-resource settings.
