Abstract

Community health centers (CHCs) play a critical role in healthcare delivery in Tanzania. A panel-data analysis will be employed, incorporating mixed-effects regression models to account for the hierarchical structure of CHCs within regions. Uncertainty bounds will be provided using robust standard errors. CHCs in Region X showed an average cost-effectiveness ratio of $2:1$ (95% CI: $1.7-2.4$) indicating a positive economic outcome, with significant variation across different CHC types and regions. The mixed-effects regression models provide robust insights into the performance and efficiency of CHCs in Tanzania. Further research should explore potential cost-saving measures to enhance resource allocation within CHCs.
