CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE
We are using the Center of Excellence model to raise medical, procedural and facility standards
Every child deserves access to quality healthcare
Centers of Excellence partner hospitals are committed to:
Cross-specialty collaboration where specialists practice together and provide “one-stop service” so that patients can have all needs addressed in one multidisciplinary visit to the hospital.
A team environment enabling case workers, pediatricians, physical therapists, nurses, orthopedists, neurologists and public health workers to work in unison to provide mothers and children with the best possible care.
Specialized facilities where parents feel supported and medical professionals can provide thoughtful care for children suffering from neural tube defects.
What is a Center of Excellence?
A Center of Excellence is a team, a shared facility, that provides leadership, best practices, research, support and training for a focus area. In Ethiopia, Centers of Excellence in Pediatric Neurosurgery aim to provide timely, value-based, patient-centered and superior care to children suffering from spina bifida and hydrocephalus.
