Methodological Evaluation of District Hospitals Systems in Tanzania Using Quasi-Experimental Design to Measure Efficiency Gains

District hospitals in Tanzania face challenges in efficiency due to resource limitations and varying service quality. A quasi-experimental design was employed, comparing baseline data from randomly selected districts with post-intervention data. Statistical analysis included regression models to assess the impact of interventions on efficiency metrics. Resource reallocation led to a modest but statistically significant increase (p<0.05) in patient satisfaction scores by 12% after one year of intervention, despite resource constraints. The quasi-experimental design successfully highlighted areas for improvement and provided evidence-based recommendations for enhancing efficiency in district hospitals. Resource reallocation strategies should be prioritised to improve patient outcomes. Monitoring systems should also focus on sustainability and cost-effectiveness of interventions. Treatment effect was estimated with logit(pᵢ)=β₀+β^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
