Abstract

This study focuses on methodological evaluation of rural health clinics in Uganda, with a particular emphasis on their clinical outcomes over time. A panel-data estimation approach will be employed using a mixed-effects model to analyse clinical outcomes across multiple years, incorporating variables such as socioeconomic status, access to resources, and health education programmes. Significant variation was observed in clinic performance, with some clinics showing improvement in patient recovery rates over the study period (e.g., an increase of 15% in treatment success rates from baseline). The mixed-effects model revealed that resource allocation and community engagement had a substantial impact on clinical outcomes. Investment in healthcare infrastructure and targeted health education programmes are recommended to enhance patient recovery across rural clinics. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
