The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Enhancing Quality Health Care Activity (EQHA) works with policymakers and health care managers and providers to improve the quality and safety of health services, strengthen the regulatory function of health systems, improve medical education, and increase use of health care services.
Through EQHA, FHI 360 is improving policies, guidelines and standards for quality assurance by strengthening the Royal Government of Cambodia’s capacity to create and implement evidence-based policies and standards across the country’s public and private health facilities.
The project’s achievements include developing a plan to establish a national health care accreditation system, supporting a shift from knowledge-based to competency-based medical education, and coordinating an agreement between provincial health departments and private health facilities to deliver quality family planning services.
EQHA has also supported the government’s COVID-19 response by strengthening the health care system’s capacity for surveillance and infection prevention, control, testing and case management.
