摘要
India contributes to the largest pool of the global neonatal and under-five mortalities. The current healthcare delivery services have a scope for improvement in terms of the quality of care at the point of delivery. In this era of resource constraints across the low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), quality improvement techniques can be a game changer to positively address the common bottlenecks of health service delivery and increase community participation. Globally, networks of quality of care and collaboratives have demonstrated significant impact in improving processes of care and the quality of services delivered to the end user. The Nationwide quality of care network (NQOCN) is a self-sustaining network of quality improvement teams, which have cohesively led the spread and adoption of simple quality improvement strategies across the Indian subcontinent. The current perspective apprises the reader about NQOCN, its relevance and impact in current times.
