A randomized field trial assesses the operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness of district hospitals, suggesting improvements for healthcare access.

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the operational efficiency of district hospitals in Kenya and assess cost-effectiveness through a randomized field trial.
Conducted a randomized field trial comparing performance metrics of two sets of district hospitals.
Collected cost inputs and outputs over a six-month period.
Analyzed data to optimize resource utilization and assess impacts on costs.
Found potential to reduce hospital costs by up to 20% without compromising patient care quality.
