Abstract
This study evaluates the systems of district hospitals in Rwanda to identify areas for improvement. Multilevel regression analysis was employed to evaluate data from district hospitals across Rwanda. Data indicated a need for enhanced coordination between primary care facilities and regional hospitals (β = -0.75, p < 0.01). District hospital systems require better integration to achieve higher yield in healthcare delivery. Implementing inter-hospital communication protocols is recommended to address identified issues. district hospitals, Rwanda, multilevel regression analysis, yield improvement Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p<em>i)=\beta</em>0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
