The survey design was adopted and the simple random sampling techniques were employed in this study. The population size comprised of employees in some selected hospitals in Mokolo, Cameroon.

The collected and validated questionnaires were analyzed using frequency tables and mean scores.
The result of the findings reveals that the challenges encountered in implementing quality management methods in healthcare institutions in Mokolo, Cameroon include; lack of adequate training for staff is a significant challenge in implementing quality management methods, limited financial resources affect the effectiveness of quality management initiatives, inadequate infrastructure and facilities hinder the implementation of quality management practices, and resistance to change among staff members is a major barrier to quality management implementation.
Therefore, the study recommended that organisations within the healthcare sector willing to improve their performance should consider implementing the ideals and hence increase their performance by imbibing the ideals of quality such as presented by TQM. This will mean that everybody in the organisation will think they practice quality with a resultant effect, reduced cost and improved quality of product and services.
