Abstract:
Patients are the key stakeholders of any hospital and it is important to satisfy them. The objective of this study was to compare the quality of hospitals within Rashidabad; a town in rural Sindh operated by Rashid Memorial Welfare Organization (RMWO), with District Headquarter hospital Tando Allahyar. A cross sectional survey, based on a questionnaire designed in congruence with literature, regarding the hospital quality was conducted on 150 patients in October 2016. The target population was defined as patients getting treatment at hospitals within Rashidabad; whose estimate was reported by RMWO as 2000 per week. Hospital quality index (HQI) was framed in the light of quality of staff, ward, pain management practices and hygiene which includes food. Logistic Regression was applied on HQI that showed dependence of perception about hospital quality on age, hospital location and patient's health. Results were significantly in favour of hospitals within Rashidabad.
