Urban primary care networks (PCNs) in Ethiopia are essential for providing comprehensive healthcare services to urban populations. However, their effectiveness and impact on clinical outcomes require rigorous evaluation. A longitudinal study employing mixed-methods data collection including surveys, clinic records, and qualitative interviews. A multivariate regression model will be used to analyse the impact of PCNs on patient health outcomes. Significant improvement (p < 0. 05) in patient satisfaction was noted with a proportion increase from 42% to 67% after implementation of PCN systems. The quasi-experimental design successfully identified the positive impact of urban PCNs on healthcare services and outcomes, providing robust evidence for future policy development. Further research should include broader geographical coverage and longitudinal follow-up studies to validate these findings. Urban primary care networks, clinical outcomes, mixed-methods study, quasi-experimental design Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
