Background of the Study
Teaching hospitals in Nigeria, particularly those affiliated with tertiary institutions, play a central role in healthcare delivery, medical education, and research. These hospitals are crucial in training healthcare professionals and providing specialized medical services to the public. However, they face significant financial management challenges due to insufficient funding, inadequate budgeting, and inefficient resource utilization. Financial management strategies are essential for the sustainability of these hospitals, and there is a need to assess how these institutions manage their financial resources. In Kano State, a state with a mix of teaching hospitals and other healthcare institutions, understanding the financial strategies employed by tertiary healthcare institutions will provide insights into best practices and areas for improvement.
