The EHSTG, which is consistent with the national focu...s on quality improvement in health care, contains a common set of guidelines to help hospital Chief Executive Officers(CEOs), managers, and clinicians (care providers) in steering  the  consistent  implementation  of  these  transformational  systems  and processes in hospitals throughout the country. The EHSTG focused on selected management and clinical functions, including new individual service specific chapters for Emergency Medical, Outpatient and Inpatient Services, Nursing  and  Midwifery,  Maternal,  Neonatal  and  Child  Health  and  Teaching  Hospitals’  Management.  These  guidelines  also  incorporate  recent  lessons  from the operationalization of the EHRIG, as well as, new national initiatives such as the Guidelines for the Management of Federal Hospitals in Ethiopia, Hospital Development Army (HDA), Clean and Safe Hospital (CASH), and Auditable Pharmaceutical Transaction and Service (APTS). 
II10 Pharmacy ChapterIt is expected that the guidelines will continuously evolve as new evidence emerges  regarding  improved  hospital  care  and  practices  that  are  better  tailored to needs and circumstances of different tiers of public hospitals. We are grateful to all partners that have participated in the production of these guidelines. Special thanks go to our colleagues at the Clinton Health Access Initiative for their substantial contributions and support throughout the  development  of  these  guidelines  as  well  as  their  dedicated  efforts  in  support of our health reform efforts in so many other capacities
