Quality Improvement Capacity Building Program for the Nigerian National Clinical Mentors Program

The Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) in partnership with the US Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (US CDC) initiated a National Clinical Mentorship Program (NCMP) in December 2021 with Public Health Information, Surveillance, Solutions, and Systems (PHIS3) as technical partners. Considering Quality Improvement (QI) methods are proven approaches to improve clients’ Quality of Care and Outcomes in healthcare settings, the FMOH identified and employed highly skilled healthcare practitioners as mentors to provide continuous education and to enhance workforce performance and engagement as such the need for QI capacity building of these individuals was vital.
