Background of the Study
Gender diversity in leadership has been recognized as a key factor in improving decision-making, workplace inclusivity, and policy implementation. In the healthcare sector, diverse leadership ensures that policies reflect the needs of both male and female healthcare workers and patients. Studies have shown that gender-diverse leadership fosters innovation, enhances communication, and promotes equitable healthcare policies.
In Jigawa State, the healthcare leadership structure has historically been male-dominated. The lack of gender diversity may limit perspectives on key healthcare issues, particularly those affecting women and children. Despite efforts to improve gender representation in leadership, challenges such as cultural barriers, gender biases, and limited opportunities for women persist.
This study aims to examine the impact of gender diversity in healthcare leadership on policy implementation in Jigawa State, assessing whether greater inclusion improves healthcare policy outcomes.

Healthcare leadership in Jigawa State has remained largely male-dominated, potentially affecting the inclusivity and effectiveness of healthcare policies. The extent to which gender diversity influences policy implementation in the healthcare sector is unclear. This study aims to analyze whether increased gender diversity leads to better healthcare policy outcomes and improved service delivery.
