Abstract

Community health centres (CHCs) play a crucial role in healthcare delivery in Ethiopia's rural areas. A multilevel regression model was employed to analyse data from Ethiopian CHCs, accounting for both individual-level (patient) and organisational-level (CHC) variations. The multilevel regression revealed that adequate funding significantly improved service delivery at the CHC level, with a coefficient of $0.45$ indicating a positive impact on patient satisfaction scores. This study provides evidence for enhancing CHC reliability by focusing on financial support and resource allocation strategies. Investment in infrastructure and training programmes should be prioritised to further improve the performance of Ethiopian CHCs.
