Rural clinics in Uganda face challenges related to resource allocation, infrastructure, and staff competency that impact patient outcomes. A systematic literature review was conducted using electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Studies were selected based on relevance to rural clinics in Uganda and the use of DID models for evaluating intervention impacts. The analysis revealed that a specific DID model incorporating baseline characteristics improved the accuracy of outcome measurement by reducing bias associated with pre-intervention variations. The application of DID models in assessing clinical outcomes from rural clinic systems in Uganda demonstrated enhanced precision and robustness compared to traditional methods. Future research should consider expanding the scope of DID applications within rural health systems, incorporating additional covariates to further refine model accuracy. Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
