The rate of medical record completeness was significantly improved in the study area. This was achieved through the application of multidimensional change ideas related to health professionals, supplies, health management information systems and leadership. However, in some of the parameters, the national targets were not met. Therefore, we recommend providing regular technical updates, conducting frequent chart audits and providing supportive supervision for the enhancement of medical record completeness. It is also advisable for the hospital management to work on its sustainability.
