Background of the Study
Healthcare financing is a critical element of any nation's healthcare system. In Biu Local Government Area (LGA) of Borno State, the effective allocation of resources to healthcare services directly affects the health outcomes of the population and, by extension, the economic stability of the region. Financing healthcare services involves the provision of financial resources through government allocations, insurance schemes, donations, and private sector involvement. Inadequate healthcare financing often leads to limited access to quality health services, resulting in poor health outcomes that impede economic development.
This study will evaluate how healthcare financing in Biu LGA influences local economies by assessing how financial resources allocated to healthcare impact the productivity of the workforce and the overall economic output. While the state and federal government allocate funding for healthcare, the manner in which these funds are utilized often determines the effectiveness of healthcare services. This research will explore how well these resources are managed and their role in promoting economic development in Biu.
