Capacity for delivery of paediatric emergency care and the current use of emergency triage, assessment and treatment in health facilities in the Busoga region, Uganda-A mixed methods study.

The implementation of structured guidelines, such as the World Health Organisation's Emergency Triage, Assessment and Treatment has been shown to reduce in-hospital mortality, addressing the high burden of early in-hospital deaths. We evaluated the capacity to provide paediatric emergency care at higher-level health facilities in the Busoga sub-region, Uganda, and explored healthcare workers' perceptions of quality care. This assessment aimed to inform policy and facilitate the implementation of guidelines.
