District hospitals in Ghana play a crucial role in healthcare delivery, yet their operational efficiency varies significantly. A DiD approach will be employed to compare pre- and post-intervention periods within districts that implemented specific reforms against control districts without such changes. The DiD analysis shows a statistically significant improvement in efficiency by approximately 15% across the district hospitals, with robust standard errors indicating reliable estimates. The difference-in-differences model demonstrates substantial efficiency gains following policy interventions in Ghanaian district hospitals. Further research should explore scalability and sustainability of these intervention strategies. Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
