".....In the context of the Millennium Development Goals, human
resources represent the most critical constraint in achieving the
targets. Therefore, it is important for health planners and
decision-makers to identify what are the human resources required to
meet those targets. Planning the human resources for health is a complex
process. It needs to consider both the technical aspects related to
estimating the number, skills and distribution of health personnel for
meeting population health needs, and the political implications, values
and choices that health policy- and decision-makers need to make within
given resources limitations. 

 

After presenting an overview of the various methods for planning human
resources for health, with their advantages and limitations, this paper
proposes a methodological approach to estimating the requirements of
human resources to achieve the goals set forth by the Millennium
Declaration. The method builds on the service-target approach and
functional job analysis...."
