Community health centres in Tanzania have been established to improve access to healthcare services, but their effectiveness varies across different regions and settings. A systematic review was conducted to identify studies reporting on the adoption rates of community health centres. A multilevel logistic regression model with clustered standard errors was employed to analyse the data, accounting for potential sources of heterogeneity at both individual and regional levels. The analysis revealed that factors such as socioeconomic status and geographic location significantly influenced the adoption rate of community health centres (OR = 1.25, CI: 1.08-1.46). This study provides insights into the determinants affecting the uptake of community health centre services in Tanzania. Further research should explore interventions to enhance service adoption and improve healthcare accessibility in underserved regions.
