Abstract

This study explores the risk management practices at Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) in Tanzania. It examines employees' perceptions, the challenges faced by management during the implementation of risk management programs, and the efforts made to address these challenges. Findings indicate a significant gap in awareness regarding risk management policies, substantial resistance to change, and financial constraints. The study underscores the need for enhanced communication, continuous training, and strategic resource allocation to improve risk management practices at MUHAS.
