dc.description.abstractReferral is the process by which a health worker transfers care responsibility to another professional due to limitations in providing necessary treatment. In developing countries like Ethiopia, pediatric referral patterns for treatment abroad have received insufficient attention. Understanding these patterns can help address treatment-related health issues and improve patient quality of life. This study aims to provide valuable data that informs policy and practice regarding demographic characteristics, primary diagnoses, referral trends, and patient outcomes
