hospital funding

Medical facility budget

Hospital funding is the money that supports hospital operations, whether from government budgets, insurance payments, charitable donations, or patient fees.

The term appears frequently in healthcare policy debates: Hospital funding cuts have forced emergency room closures.

How hospitals are funded varies dramatically between countries with public healthcare systems and those relying primarily on private insurance.
