Zimbabwe’s health service delivery has attracted media attention for three successive decades due to failure by public hospitals to deliver effective service with the blame leveled against the hospital management boards (HMB). Responding to the criticism, the Ministry of Health introduced reforms on public hospital governance practices towards ensuring an effective health delivery system. This was done by improving the structural capacity of hospitals to deal with the increasing demand for health services (Moyo, 2016; Sikipa, Osifo-Dawodu, Kokwaro, & Rice, 2019). Thus, the study sought to determine the standard functional structures within HMBs of Zimbabwe’s 6 central hospitals. To achieve this, the study used a mixed research design in which 66 board members responded to the questionnaire while 9 purposively selected board members were interviewed, respectively. The study revealed that public hospitals require standard functional structures in order to be effective. These include a functional board that has sub-committees, a policy to evaluate the performance of CEOs, and the board itself. Frequency of board meetings, setting of agendas, succession planning, and alignment of goals with interests of various stakeholders.

This paper aims to investigate the internal audit implementation in European and non-European public hospitals or public bodies. Researchers conducted a systematic literature review based on various fields and countries (European and non-European). Our results revealed differences between countries regarding the role and effectiveness of internal audit of public hospitals in each country. European countries need to address different challenges concerning internal audit in comparison to non-European countries. For instance, European public hospitals need to implement internal audit to develop their risk management practices. In contrast, the public hospitals of non-European countries need to address challenges and issues related to the high corruption rate, the lack of transparency and accountability, and the lack of competent staff. Upon completion, this systematic literature review provided some evidence for further research on the matter under investigation. While recognizing the limitations of our analysis, we believe we have significantly contributed to the evolution of the international and Greek literature concerning the implementation of internal audit in European and non-European countries.
