Methodological Evaluation of Rural Clinics Systems in Senegal Using Difference-in-Differences for Clinical Outcome Assessment

Rural clinics in Senegal face challenges related to resource allocation and patient outcomes. A DiD approach was used to compare pre- and post-intervention outcomes in participating clinics, with data collected from to . There was an improvement of 35% in patient recovery rates over the study period (95% CI: 20%, 50%). The DiD model effectively captured changes in clinic performance, highlighting areas for future improvements. Further studies should explore the sustainability and scalability of interventions identified as effective.
