District hospitals in South Africa play a critical role in healthcare delivery, especially in underserved areas. A quasi-experimental design will be employed to assess the impact on patient care quality and efficiency. District hospitals demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in surgical complication rates (p < 0. 05, CI: -3. 2% to -1. 8%). The intervention study highlights specific areas for system optimization and improved healthcare delivery. Implement standardised training programmes for clinicians and enhance infection control protocols. District hospitals, clinical outcomes, quasi-experimental design, surgical complications, quality improvement. Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
