Quasi-experimental design assesses cost-efficiency in Kenyan healthcare, suggesting cost-saving measures to enhance sustainability.

Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of district hospitals in Kenya using a quasi-experimental approach.
Employed a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative analysis and qualitative insights.
Applied a difference-in-differences regression model for data analysis.
Used robust standard errors to mitigate confounders in the analysis.
Identified a 15% reduction in hospital costs due to certain cost-saving measures.
Initial findings indicate that service quality was not compromised despite cost reductions.

Otieno et al. (2010) studied this question.
