Description
Joel Nabeshya and co-authors grade how ready one hospital's crash ward is for urgent care surges. The study appeared in 2026. The site is a referral hospital in a low-income land. A world health tool with a set check list drove the grade, filled by three key staff.
The ward scored just over three-fifths on the full scale. Staff depth scored worst, at just over a third. Advice services scored best, at just over seven in ten. Stock-outs of drugs were the top block, named in a third of checks. Lost gear came next. Fees for users were the least named block.
