ABSTRACT: The healthcare services industry holds significant importance on a global scale, as it offers vital healthcare services to a huge population. Despite its growth potential, the industry encounters inadequate liquidity management and delayed payments from governmental bodies and insurance establishments. These limitations not only affect the economic outcomes of healthcare providers but also threaten the quality of services rendered and hinder prospects for expansion. This study aims to determine the efficiency of Liquidity Management as reflected in the financial performance of selected healthcare Services and subsidiaries. The study used audited financial statements of 3 hospitals from the year 2019 to 2021. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics are applied to complete the study. The data are analyzed using Ratio Analysis, Vertical and Horizontal Analysis, and Trendlines. The findings reveal that the three hospitals' liquidity management is unfavorable, with downward-sloping liquidity ratios indicating a healthy financial position. However, the profitability ratios reflect contrasting trends, with ROA and ROE declining while Net Operating Margin and Gross Profit Margin show an upward trend. Furthermore, there was no statistically significant correlation between liquidity and profitability ratios.
