Background of the Study
Government subsidies can play a pivotal role in supporting the sustainability of private hospitals, especially in developing economies where healthcare costs are high and public healthcare systems are often overstretched (Oluwaseun & Adeola, 2023). In Nigeria, private hospitals face numerous challenges, including high operating costs, limited revenue streams, and increased competition from public hospitals. In Jigawa State, the role of government subsidies in ensuring the financial sustainability of private hospitals has not been adequately explored.
Government subsidies can reduce the financial burden on private hospitals by providing financial relief for healthcare providers, allowing them to offer more affordable services to the public. The impact of these subsidies on hospital sustainability remains an under-explored area, particularly in the context of Jigawa State, where private hospitals play a crucial role in delivering healthcare services (Adamu & Akinyemi, 2024). This study will investigate the role of government subsidies in the financial sustainability of private hospitals in Jigawa State.
