Evidence-based clinical governance: Rethinking the QUALITY of care in Cameroon MOTIVATION, COMMITMENT,

This book offers a scientific analysis of the challenges facing the quality of care in Cameroon's health care system. Starting from the observation that the numerous health reforms and investments made over the past few decades have failed to bring about a lasting improvement in the quality of care provided to the population, the author demonstrates that the shortcomings observed cannot be explained solely by a lack of resources, but also by organizational, managerial, and human factors. Through an in-depth analysis of the international literature, national health policies, and the results of research conducted in Cameroon, the book highlights the limitations of a primarily administrative governance model focused on regulations, procedures, and institutional reforms. It demonstrates that a sustainable improvement in the quality of care requires a profound transformation of health care facilities, based on clinical leadership, continuous improvement, patient safety, professional participation, and the systematic use of evidence in management decisions.
