Abstrak:

In this article, the associations between financial efficiency, profitability, and leverage are explored in the private medical centers. The amount of operational costs is likely to be high for this institution, and health systems demand a high quality of service; thus, financiers of healthcare must optimize both financial structure and resource allocation. The study applies several financial metrics, such as net profit margin, return on equity, and leverage ratio, to evaluate success and highlights strategies like lean management and revenue diversification. According to these findings, both financial health and patient satisfaction can be improved in several ways, for instance, through strategic cost control, efficient capital use, and a variety of income sources. Through this research, the position of leverage is balanced with operational efficiency, which can be explored and may support sustainable growth in the healthcare sector. The findings suggest that successful cost reduction, diversified revenues, and successful resource allocation not only improve profitability but also improve patient outcomes and organizational viability.
