The healthcare landscape in Ethiopia is characterized by a fragmented system of district hospitals, which can lead to inefficiencies and inequities in service delivery. A quasi-experimental design was employed to compare pre- and post-intervention data from randomly selected districts. Key variables included healthcare costs, service utilization rates, and patient satisfaction scores. The analysis revealed that district hospitals with improved management practices saw a 20% increase in resource efficiency (p < 0. 05), translating to 1. 2 million annually per hospital. The quasi-experimental design provided robust insights into the cost-effectiveness of healthcare system improvements, highlighting potential areas for policy intervention. District hospitals should prioritise training programmes and management reforms to optimise resource utilization and enhance patient care outcomes.
