Dear HIFA colleagues,
I’d like to share my recent article, “When Guidelines Don’t Fit: The Hidden Cost of Copy-Paste Medicine in Low-Resource Hospitals,” published on Global Health Unfiltered (Oct 2025). https://www.globalhealthunfiltered.com/
The piece explores how global and national clinical guidelines, while essential, can sometimes become counterproductive in low-resource hospital settings—turning into a bureaucratic checklist rather than a true clinical tool. I would be interested to hear your thoughts and experiences on adapting guidelines to local realities.
