Human Resource Information System (HuRIS) is an integral part of National Health Service. It is an indispensable tool of management for improvement of health status in the country The management of human resources has been reported as constrains in almost every health programs run through department of health service. The tertiary level health institutions such as Bir hospital, Kanti Children hospital report lack of human resource as their prominent challenge and constrains. The current public workforce has increased only 3% while the population grew 35%, and about 25% of the workforce is unskilled. The Government aims to continue with ongoing programmes to upgrade the skills of the workforce. A modest first step is being taken towards a more multi-skilled workforce able to operate more integrated services. The main objective of this research is to access the status of human resource for health. Furthermore it tends to analyze the gap between demand and supply of human resource for health. The methodology adopted is field visits, policy document study, annual report study and interaction with the concerned authorities of MOH, MOE, planning commission and DoHS. The policy papers, health service acts and regulations were also studied. Records of Nepal Medical Council, Nepal Nursing Council and Health professional council and comprehensive Health system was also taken into considerations as HRH is not complete without this. The study will be based upon the secondary data and information given by the concern authority such as Health Council, Professionals councils, Ministry and universities of Nepal. Results showed the prominent gap in demand and supply of human resource for health. The trend in demand aspect of human resource for health shows consistency whereas the supply aspect is in continuous growing phase since 1990. Largest numbers of medical graduates are supplied by Tribhuvan University followed by Kathmandu University. The administrative and support staff occupy the larger share of demand followed by Paramedics , Nursing , Public Health, Doctor and Ayurvedic in demand of health manpower by 36%, 25%, 21%, 14%, 3%, and 1% respectively. Out of total demand 30% post are vacant. The total number of physicians registered under Nepal.Medical Council in year 2009/10 was 3833 and total number of physicians register till 2009/10 was 27923. CTEVT produces lower and mid level health personnel including Nursing and other paramedics but has only supplied with about only 52% of total enrolment in last five years. The total supply of human resource for health is a about thrice the demand by public sector. The demand density per thousand populations is 1.17 which suggests low category status according to WHO where as the supply density per thousand populations is 3.68. It lies in the medium status of human resource for health. Conclusion : The emergence of private health institutions have significant role in supply of various category of human resource for health as the supply is three folds higher than the demand from the public sector. The public sector has not fully utilized the supplied human resource for health. | ||
