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. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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….”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
