Community health centres in Kenya have been established to improve access to healthcare services for underserved populations. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, employing rigorous inclusion criteria based on peer-reviewed studies published in English between and. Studies were identified through databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase using predefined keywords related to community health centres and yield improvement. Findings indicate a moderate positive effect of quasi-experimental designs on improving healthcare delivery in Kenya, with an estimated average treatment effect size (Cohen's d) of 0. 65 (95% CI: 0. 42-0. 87). The analysis suggests that implementing quasi-experimental designs can lead to significant improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of community health centres. Future research should explore the long-term sustainability of these interventions and evaluate their impact on specific health outcomes such as maternal and child mortality rates. Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
