This research aims to assess the causal effect of implementing a standardized Maternal Care Facility System on clinical outcomes in Uganda.
Utilized a quasi-experimental difference-in-differences design
Leveraged phased rollout of Maternal Care Facility Systems across facilities
Analyzed facility-level panel data using cluster-robust standard errors
MCFS implementation led to a 17.3 percentage point reduction in severe maternal morbidity
Significant increase in the rate of complete postnatal assessments within 48 hours
Demonstrated that integrated systems improved measurable clinical outcomes
