Community health centre systems can be cost-effective with targeted investments, enhancing service quality and efficiency. Allocate resources towards upgrading facilities and training staff for better patient care outcomes. community health centres, panel data analysis, cost-effectiveness, Uganda healthcare Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
