Working Capital Management

Working capital management is a core financial topic for Zambian tertiary students in health leadership. This topic covers the definition of working capital (current assets minus current liabilities), the ideal current ratio (2:1), and its importance for daily operations in clinics, pharmacies, and hospitals. Learners will analyze how effective management of cash, inventory, and receivables ensures liquidity to meet short-term obligations and sustain healthcare services. Mastery of this concept is essential for exams and for future managers responsible for the financial health of their departments, directly impacting the ability to purchase supplies, pay staff, and provide uninterrupted patient care in the Zambian context.
