1.5 Guiding principles
he principles guiding the development of these recommendations were based on providing optimal public health guidance using the best available evidence in the management of common childhood conditions in settings with limited resources. he guiding principles are as follows: n Prioritize and optimize the best options for treatment of common childhood illnesses to improve quality of care in hospitals in low-resource settings. n Promote best practices based on a high quality level of evidence supporting strong recommendations in order to deliver the highest standards of care despite limited resources. n Analyse and balance the beneits, risks, and feasibility of implementation of the recommendations in hospitals with limited resources. n Build consensus among experts on recommendations in situations where there is very low quality or no supporting evidence.Parts
