Regional hospitals in Addis Ababa are particularly important as they provide medical services to millions of citizens. However, there is minimal understanding of the project monitoring practice employed in health care improvement projects in these regional hospitals.

Project monitoring activities are conducted irregularly, and although moderately effective, they do not fully comply with healthcare quality standards and guidelines in regional public hospitals.
