Authors: Daka, D. W., Wordofa, M. A., Woldie, M., Persson, L. A., & Berhanu, D.

Ethiopian primary health care usage for sick children is low, possibly due to poor perceptions about the quality of care in local settings. Dawit Wolde Daka and colleagues evaluated the quality of care among health extension workers for children under-five. Health extension workers failed to adhere to Community Case management guidelines with over 80% of sick children.
