To assess the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of district hospitals in Uganda using multilevel regression analysis.
Analyzed hospital performance data from multiple districts and hospitals
Employed a multilevel regression model to account for hierarchical data structures
Assessed uncertainty around estimates using robust standard errors
Significant variations found in cost-effectiveness across different districts
Certain regions showed improvements in patient outcomes despite higher operating costs
Empirical evidence highlights the need for targeted resource allocation to enhance efficiency in lower-performing districts

Nakirizi et al. (2003) studied this question.
