Abstract

District hospitals in Uganda play a crucial role in healthcare delivery, yet their efficiency and effectiveness are often under-researched. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from patient outcomes with qualitative insights from hospital staff interviews. A significant improvement (p < 0.05) was observed in emergency response times across participating district hospitals, indicating a more efficient system. The quasi-experimental design proved effective for measuring clinical outcomes and improving the operational efficiency of district hospitals. Implementing standardised protocols based on findings will further enhance healthcare delivery in Uganda’s district hospitals. district hospitals, clinical outcomes, quasi-experimental design, Uganda Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
