Maternal care facilities in Uganda face challenges in delivering consistent quality of care, leading to suboptimal clinical outcomes for mothers and newborns. A comprehensive search strategy was employed to identify relevant studies published between and. Studies were screened based on predefined inclusion criteria, including the use of panel data methods for analysing clinical outcomes in Ugandan maternal care facilities. The analysis revealed that while some studies used sophisticated econometric models such as fixed effects regressions (y₈ₓ = eta₀ + eta₁X₈ + eta₂Dₜ + u₈ₓ), the majority of studies employed simpler linear regression models without accounting for potential omitted variable bias. The review highlights the importance of employing advanced econometric techniques to accurately assess and improve clinical outcomes in maternal care facilities in Uganda. Future research should prioritise the use of more rigorous statistical methods, such as fixed effects models with robust standard errors, to enhance the reliability of their findings.
