Abstract

This paper examines the potential of integrated management strategies to enhance healthcare delivery through a multi-sectoral approach. The study explores the synergy between public, private, and non-governmental sectors in improving healthcare systems, emphasizing collaboration, resource optimization, and shared governance. By analyzing existing frameworks and case studies, the research identifies critical strategies such as cross-sector partnerships, data-driven decision-making, and adaptive leadership. The findings underscore the importance of coordinated efforts in addressing systemic challenges, optimizing resource allocation, and improving service delivery. The study concludes that an integrated management approach is crucial for fostering sustainable healthcare outcomes, particularly in complex and resource-constrained environments. This research offers practical insights for policymakers, healthcare managers, and stakeholders in designing collaborative models that prioritize patient care, efficiency, and innovation.
