Building Financial Skills for Health Service Management

Decisions about health financing shape how services are organised and what they can provide. The third module of the Health Management Training (HMT) programme focused on helping participants understand these choices and the financial tools needed to manage available funds responsibly.

Over two days, participants examined healthcare financing models and discussed their relevance to Kosovo through group work. The sessions linked financing choices to the efficient use of resources, with attention to transparency and accountability.

The module also moved into everyday financial management. Cash flow planning, comparing actual income and expenditure with budgets, and practical accounting exercises provided opportunities to explore how financial information can support planning and management decisions.

Delivered by the Association of Family Physicians of Kosovo with AQH support, the six-module programme is accredited by the Kosovo Chamber of Doctors. Its delivery through a local professional association helps keep health management training available and builds on the capacities developed through AQH’s investment.
