Background of the Study
Public health institutions are essential for providing accessible healthcare services, particularly in rural areas like Birnin Kudu Local Government Area. However, these institutions often face financial constraints, making cost management a critical aspect of their operations. Effective cost management practices enable healthcare providers to optimize resources, minimize wastage, and enhance service delivery.
Cost management involves planning, monitoring, and controlling costs to achieve organizational efficiency. In public health institutions, it ensures that limited resources are allocated to areas of greatest need while maintaining high service quality. Despite its importance, many public health institutions in Birnin Kudu struggle with inadequate cost management practices, leading to inefficiencies and financial shortfalls.
This study explores cost management practices in public health institutions in Birnin Kudu Local Government Area, focusing on their impact on resource utilization and service delivery.
