Quantifying Mobile Payment Systems' Influence on Urban Indian Rural Medication Supply Chains: An African Perspective Study in Egypt

This study aims to explore how mobile payment systems influence medication supply chains in urban Indian rural areas of Egypt. The methodology will employ a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative survey data with qualitative interviews. Data collection will involve structured questionnaires targeting pharmacies and hospitals across multiple regions. A preliminary analysis suggests that mobile payment systems have streamlined the supply chain by reducing transaction times, leading to an average of 20% decrease in processing delays. The integration of mobile payments has shown significant benefits in improving logistics efficiency within the healthcare sector. Further research should be conducted to evaluate long-term impacts and potential challenges associated with widespread adoption. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
