Implementation of a data management program in a pediatric cancer unit in a low income country

Pediatric cancer units in low‐income countries lack data on which to base quality improvement initiatives. We implemented a data management program in the oncology unit of the children's hospital of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and then we assessed training and supervision of data managers, data accuracy, and completeness as well as obstacles encountered.
