In Uganda, district hospitals play a crucial role in healthcare delivery, yet their effectiveness is subject to variability and challenges. A systematic review was conducted to assess data from multiple studies evaluating district hospitals. The DiD analysis was applied to evaluate potential improvements over time and across different districts. The DiD analysis revealed that interventions aimed at improving healthcare delivery, such as training for staff or upgrading facilities, were effective in enhancing clinical outcomes by an average of 15% (95% CI: 8%, 23%). This study provides robust evidence on the impact of systematic improvements within district hospitals and supports their role in improving healthcare delivery. Further research should be conducted to explore long-term effects and scalability of these interventions across different settings and contexts. Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
