Background of the Study
Strategic resource allocation is essential for optimizing business efficiency, especially in sectors like healthcare, where resource constraints can directly impact service delivery and patient outcomes. Hospitals must allocate financial, human, and material resources strategically to meet increasing demands for quality care (Porter & Teisberg, 2024).
In Katsina State, hospitals face challenges such as limited funding, inadequate infrastructure, and a growing patient population. Strategic resource allocation can improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance service quality, contributing to better healthcare outcomes (Ahmed & Bello, 2025).
This study examines how strategic resource allocation impacts business efficiency in hospitals, providing actionable recommendations for improved performance.
Statement of the Problem
Hospitals in Katsina State struggle with resource allocation challenges, including insufficient funding, mismanagement, and workforce shortages. These issues lead to inefficiencies, poor service delivery, and patient dissatisfaction (Usman et al., 2024).
While resource allocation strategies are widely studied, there is limited research focusing on their impact on business efficiency in healthcare settings in Katsina State. This study addresses this gap by investigating resource allocation practices and their outcomes in hospitals.
