A mixed-methods approach, including quantitative analysis and qualitative interviews, was employed. The study employs a fixed-effects regression model to analyse the relationship between clinic resources and clinical outcomes. Key findings indicate that an increase in resource allocation is significantly associated with better health outcomes (fixed-effects coefficient: 0.5; $95\%$ confidence interval [0.3, 0.7]). This research contributes by providing a validated method for assessing the impact of resource investment on
