One of these indicators, catastrophic expenditure (CE), is defined as money paid for service which amounts to more than 10% of the patient's total annual expenditure, or more than 40% of annual non-food household expenditure. Ethiopian Ministry of Health has set a target of 100% protection from CE by 2030.

- This study investigates the prevalence and risk factors for Surgical Site Infection (SSI) and wound dehiscence in pediatric patients undergoing laparotomy at a hospital in Ethiopia.
- The research included 114 pediatric surgical patients from December 2017 to May 2018, revealing a 21.05% SSI rate and identifying key risk factors such as the timing of antibiotics and duration of surgery.
- Findings suggest that both SSI and wound dehiscence are prevalent complications, with specific antibiotic usage, surgical time, and patient malnutrition being significant predictors of these outcomes.
