District hospitals in Senegal play a crucial role in healthcare delivery but face challenges such as resource allocation inefficiencies and patient yield discrepancies. A mixed-method approach combining quantitative data analysis with qualitative interviews to assess system performance in terms of patient referral patterns and resource utilization. District hospitals showed an average improvement of 15% in patient yield after implementing targeted interventions, particularly in reducing waiting times for non-urgent cases (p < 0. 05). The quasi-experimental design provided robust evidence to support the effectiveness of targeted interventions in enhancing hospital operational efficiency. Further research should explore scalability and sustainability of identified improvements across different districts and healthcare settings in Senegal. District hospitals, Quasi-Experimental Design, Patient Yield Improvement, Resource Allocation, Healthcare Systems Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
