1.1 Background of the Study
Health institutions are often at the forefront of managing crises, ranging from disease outbreaks to patient safety incidents. Effective corporate communication is essential in these situations, enabling health institutions to provide accurate information, manage stakeholder expectations, and maintain public trust. In Gashua Local Government Area, Yobe State, health institutions frequently encounter crises that challenge their operational efficiency and public perception. Research indicates that strategic communication can significantly enhance crisis resolution by fostering transparency, reducing misinformation, and ensuring timely responses (Clark & Ahmed, 2023; Taylor et al., 2024). However, many health institutions in Gashua struggle with inadequate communication frameworks, which hinder their ability to manage crises effectively. This study explores the impact of corporate communication on crisis resolution in health institutions, providing recommendations for improving communication strategies in Gashua.
