Abstract

Community health centers in Uganda face challenges in delivering effective healthcare services, leading to suboptimal outcomes for patients and community health workers. A mixed-method approach will be employed, combining quantitative data from health service delivery metrics with qualitative insights from focus group discussions. Multilevel regression models will be used to analyse variance at both individual and organisational levels. Initial findings suggest a moderate improvement in patient satisfaction scores (30% increase) after implementing enhanced training programmes for community health workers, although variability exists within different regions. The multilevel regression analysis reveals significant differences in service delivery effectiveness across various geographic and organisational contexts. Future studies should consider the implementation of standardised quality control measures to ensure consistent service delivery. Enhanced training programmes should be tailored to specific community needs. Community Health Centers, Uganda, Multilevel Regression Analysis, Patient Satisfaction Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
