Quality Improvement in health care is a systematic approach that monitors, assesses and improves the standard of quality care. MusQan is designed to ensure provision of quality child friendly services from birth to children upto 12 years of age. MusQan aims to ensure provision of quality child friendly services in public health facilities to reduce preventable newborn and child morbidity and mortality. It encompasses all the pivotal aspects of child growth and development, including the child’s physical, mental and social development. In addition, MusQan initiative intends to achieve an explicit improvement in the quality of childcare services in public facilities of India.

Under MusQan, multi-prolonged strategy has been adopted for ensuring the gaps in the SNCUs, NBSUs, Postnatal wards, PaediatricOPD and Nutritional Rehabilitation Centre against the quality standards traversed within the shortest possible time and visible in quality care services.

The operational framework for MusQan has a systematic approach where the facilities are supported by the state & district level teams to undertake a series of Rapid Improvement (RI) cycles to ensure that the desired health outcomes are achieved at the individual and facility level. Apart from these RI cycles, facilities are encouraged to consider and include any other critical issue as per local need.
