Financial Management and Budgeting for Laboratories
This topic covers financial management principles specific to laboratory operations, including budgeting, cost analysis, and accounting methods such as accrual and cash accounting. Students learn to calculate cost per test, differentiate between operating and capital budgets, and manage major expenses like reagents, salaries, and equipment maintenance. Essential for Zambian tertiary students in biomedical science and health administration, this knowledge enables effective resource allocation, financial sustainability, and informed decision-making in resource-constrained settings. Mastery supports exam success and prepares graduates for roles requiring financial oversight in public and private laboratories across Zambia.
