Abstract:
A key challenge in Tanzanian paediatric care is limited availability and quality of primary health care (PHC). Introducing a triage system to prioritize children with urgent illness may improve its efficiency and effectiveness. This study aims to identify available paediatric triage tools for low and middle income countries (LMIC) and to evaluate their feasibility for use in the Tanzanian PHC.
