On 24 April, 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched standards for improving quality of care for children and young adolescents in health facilities, in Entebbe, Uganda, in a meeting organized by the Network for Improving Quality of Care for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (Quality of Care Network) and WHO, in partnership with USAID, and hosted by the Uganda Government. Health experts from 12 countries, including all the countries in the Quality of Care Network, gathered to share how they are working to improve the quality of care for children and young adolescents, discuss how they can weave these standards in their existing national programmes, and what kind of support they will require to do so.
