Background of the Study
Effective healthcare leadership plays a crucial role in shaping health policies, improving service delivery, and ensuring the sustainability of healthcare programs. Leadership in the healthcare sector involves decision-making, strategic planning, and the ability to implement policies that address public health challenges. Strong healthcare leadership can lead to improved patient outcomes, better resource allocation, and enhanced policy implementation.
In Yobe State, healthcare leadership has been challenged by inadequate resources, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and external factors such as security concerns. These challenges have affected the formulation and implementation of effective health policies. Understanding the role of healthcare leadership in policy formulation is essential in addressing inefficiencies and ensuring that healthcare policies align with the needs of the population.
This study will assess the influence of healthcare leadership on policy formulation in Yobe State, identifying leadership styles, decision-making processes, and challenges faced by health administrators in shaping policies.
