Why is it important?
Using existing mechanisms of self-check like a criterion-based clinical audit is non-reprimanding/non-judgement, yet improves the quality of health care services to the benefit of the service providers, the clients, the institution and nation at large.
Perspectives
This publication should act as a trigger to fellow midwives, nurses and other health care providers to seek available knowledge and skills on a criterion-based clinical audit for personal and professional enhancement in providing quality health care services that meet the required standards.
