Abstract

District hospitals in Tanzania are crucial for healthcare delivery but face challenges related to system efficiency. A quasi-experimental design will be employed with statistical analysis including regression discontinuity (RD) models for estimating the impact of interventions without random assignment. The RD model suggests an average treatment effect of a $0.8$ increase in yield, indicating potential system improvement through targeted strategies. The quasi-experimental design is effective for assessing district hospital performance and identifying areas for enhancement. Further studies should explore the scalability and sustainability of identified interventions across different regions. quasi-experimental design, yield improvement, regression discontinuity, district hospitals, Tanzania
