Abstract
Community health centers (CHCs) in Ghana face challenges in maintaining consistent service delivery. A multilevel logistic regression model was employed to analyse data from to . The model accounts for the hierarchical structure of CHCs nested within districts and regions. The analysis revealed that funding levels had a significant positive impact on system reliability, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.35 (95% CI: 1.12-1.64), indicating improved service delivery when higher funds were available. Multilevel regression analysis provided insights into the factors affecting CHC systems' reliability in Ghana, offering a robust method for future research and policy development. Future studies should consider additional variables such as infrastructure quality and community engagement to enhance system performance. 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.
