As recommended by other scholars, the literature was compiled from various journals, Google magazines, and books. A convenience sampling method was used to select a sample of 208 respondents for the study, that had a cross-sectional survey research design. The hospital staff members completed self-administered questionnaires that served as the investigation's data collection tools and instruments. The STATA and SPSS software packages were utilized in the study's analysis of the field data. A dummy variable model also aided in analyzing data. The findings at the correlation level show that material handling and purchase orders were significant, indicating that they had a positive effect on the financial performance of private healthcare providers. Material handling and reverse logistics, however, have a significant influence on the financial performance of private health institutions at a regression level. The study recommended that more focus be placed on using purchase orders because it was found that they significantly increase private hospitals' performance. It also suggested that the management improve proper disposal of spent materials and storage of items at the appropriate temperature.
