Mixed-method research demonstrates increased healthcare access and HIV/AIDS treatment in rural Rwanda, suggesting effective intervention strategies.
In Rwanda, rural areas face significant barriers to accessing healthcare services, particularly in districts with high HIV/AIDS burden. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative data from surveys with qualitative insights from focus groups and interviews. Data analysis utilised regression models to assess the impact of RHAPIP on healthcare utilization and patient outcomes. Significant increases were observed in antiretroviral therapy (ART) uptake among HIV-positive individuals, with a proportion increase of 25% compared to baseline levels. The Rural Healthcare Access Improvement Programme has successfully enhanced access to essential healthcare services and reduced the burden of HIV/AIDS in targeted rural districts. Further interventions should focus on improving ART adherence and expanding RHAPIP to cover additional health issues prevalent in rural areas. Treatment effect was estimated with logit(pᵢ)=β₀+β^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
