Hospital Ownership and Surgical Outcomes in East, Central, and Southern Africa

Abstract

In this study, faith-based hospitals in East, Central, and Southern Africa were associated with significantly lower surgical mortality rates compared with public and private hospitals. These findings suggest that practices and resources in faith-based hospitals contribute to improved surgical outcomes, warranting further investigation to inform health care policy and improve surgical care and outcomes in the region.
