Dual Clinical Practice (DCP) policy to improve the retention of human resources for health in Rwanda: a mid-term review using a cross-sectional and retrospective study design.

Background: Despite the high demand for public services globally, ensuring the quality of services provided by public health facilities is challenging. Poor remuneration of public sector health care providers (HCPs) drives their migration to private health facilities. The Dual Clinical Practice (DCP) Policy in Rwanda represents a strategic initiative aimed at retaining healthcare professionals in public health facilities, allowing them to engage in private practice concurrently.
