Abstract

Rural clinics in Senegal face challenges in delivering consistent healthcare services due to inadequate resources and infrastructure. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using databases such as PubMed and Embase. Studies were screened based on predefined inclusion criteria including use of quasi-experimental designs for evaluating Senegalese rural clinics. A notable finding is the consistent improvement in patient satisfaction scores (mean increase of 15% across studies) following implementation of standardised healthcare protocols. The review highlights the effectiveness and feasibility of using quasi-experimental designs to assess clinical outcomes in rural clinic settings, particularly when paired with robust methodological approaches. Future research should focus on replicating findings in diverse settings and exploring long-term sustainability measures for sustained improvements. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
