Message from the
Chairman
Dear Reader,
Welcome to “QQ”, our brand new platform for sharing
information about the activities of the Society. “QQ” simply
means Quality Quarterly and will offer amongst others, an
opportunity to form a close bond between you as a member and
the Society for Quality in Healthcare in Nigeria, while taking you
through a journey of the “SQHN” activities.
Over the years, we have sought ways of reaching out to our
members, care givers and healthcare beneficiaries in general
through the use of Seminars, Conferences and Workshops, which
are designed to provide knowledge for safe practices and
quality in Healthcare in Nigeria. I believe that “QQ” will present
another positive step in that direction.
This year, the Society experienced tremendous growth in all
categories of membership - Students, Standard, Institutional and
Corporate members, and we are hopeful for continued growth
and active involvement of all members in 2012.
This maiden issue touches key developments and transports us
through our activities in the Society. With this, I welcome you
once again to a wholesome experience as you go through the
pages. Please feel free to send in your comments, and be
assured that it will be appreciated.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Who We Are
Over the years, it has been identified that a gap exists in
the quality of care and services provided by both private
and public healthcare practitioners in Nigeria. A few
attempts have been made to address this quality gap
nationally but not much progress has been made. In
1990, Late Professor Ransome-Kuti (then Minister of
Health) set up a committee on Quality Assurance in the
Private Health Sector. Since then, not much progress has
been made to address the issue of quality in Nigeria.
In 2003, a group of healthcare professionals came
together to promote the idea of a non-government
organization being registered to drive this initiative and
take the discussion of quality in healthcare to a wider
platform.
By May 2006, The Society for Quality in Healthcare in
Nigeria was incorporated as a not-for-profit charitable
organization, which has multidisciplinary involvement. It is
governed by a constitution, with a focus to bring about a
wider understanding and acceptance of Quality in
Healthcare towards improved patient outcomes and
reduction in healthcare delivery costs. This will also be a
platform to share best practice and successful strategies
