Community health centres play a crucial role in healthcare delivery in Ghana, particularly for underserved populations. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with community health centres across three regions in Ghana. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (receiving standard care plus additional support) or control group (standard care only). Patient data on treatment efficacy and patient satisfaction were collected over a six-month period, using a validated clinical assessment tool. In the intervention group, there was a statistically significant improvement in patient recovery rates (= 0. 45, p < 0. 01) compared to the control group, indicating enhanced efficacy of integrated care models. The findings suggest that community health centres can be optimised for improved clinical outcomes when supported by additional resources and interventions. Future research should focus on sustainability and scalability of these intervention strategies in broader community health settings.
