CONCEPT OF
HEALTH MANPOWER PRODUCTION
![Page 4: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Reshaping the health manpower so that it is responsive to a nation’s requirement for health care is essentially a triple process involving planning, production and management.
![Page 5: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Manpower production is concerned with the provision of learning opportunities in order to improve individual, team and organizational performance.
• It includes educational programs which produce health professionals.
• Production of health manpower is one of the elements of health manpower development.
![Page 6: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
In Nepal, the production of health manpower is mainly carrying out through two sectors:
Educational Sector- Five universities(TU, KU,
PU, NSU, Pokhara University), 3 deemed universities of health sciences(BPKIHS, NAMS, PAHS) and CTEVT and,
Health Service Sector- National Health Training
Centre under MoHP

CONCEPT OF
DEMAND, NEED AND REQUIREMENT OF
HEALTH MANPOWER PRODUCTION
![Page 8: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Without a clear understanding of the variables that influence the demand for health care and of the ways they may change with time, even sophisticated analyses of manpower characteristics, distribution, productivity and costs can contribute relatively little to policy formulation.
![Page 9: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Demand and Supply of health workers
• Local and global labour market dynamics that reflect economic, socio-demographic, political and scientific developments in addition to health needs influence both demand and supply of health workers.
![Page 10: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Demand
• Demand is a measure of the quantities of goods or services that buyers take at alternative prices.
• As applied to health sector, a demand curve shows how the use of a given health workers services varies with the price of such services, for each price level there is different utilization level of effective demand.
![Page 11: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
FACTORS INFLUENCING DEMAND FOR HEALTH MANPOWER
Demographic factors- Size, distribution, density, growth rate, composition of
population (age, sex) Economic factors- At any given price, a strong correlation usually exists between
income and the demand for health care.- In the absence of a price variable, as in government financed
health care system , the waiting time for services and other such variables will tend to replace the price between supply and demand
![Page 12: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
FACTORS INFLUENCING DEMAND FOR HEALTH MANPOWER (CONT.)
Social and cultural factors- Educational level, level of health
consciousness, awareness about availability of health care
Health Status- Morbidity, mortality, disease pattern
![Page 13: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
FACTORS INFLUENCING DEMAND FOR HEALTH MANPOWER (CONT.)
Accessibility- Travel time, waiting time, convenience of time
for services, social and cultural barriers to receiving services
Resource availability- Manpower, hospital beds, other accessory
resources
![Page 14: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
FACTORS INFLUENCING DEMAND FOR HEALTH MANPOWER (CONT.)
Resource productivity- If resource productivity is increased, the
output of services will be greater and a higher level of demand can be satisfied
Health care technology- Availability of new and efficient technology
![Page 15: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Need
• Need represents estimation of the number of workers or amount of services necessary to provide an optimum standard of health care based on professional judgment and current medical technology.
• The humanistic ethic has often caused planners to regard health services as of such positive value that they should be made available to all citizens regardless of their social or economic situation.
![Page 16: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• As a result, much health planning has been based on professionally determined estimates of the presumed need for health services.
![Page 17: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Requirements
• Requirement refers to the amount of services, manpower etc required to satisfy a given sets of assumptions about how the health sector does, could or should function.
![Page 18: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Analysis of demand, need and requirement of health manpower is one of the must difficult task confronting the health manpower planner, but an essential one.
![Page 19: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The word demand, need and requirement of manpower make semantic confusions regarding their meaning.
![Page 20: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
In summary, Demand refers the sum of the amount of the
various types of health services that the population of the given area will seek at prevailing price in a given time period
Need is an estimation based on professional judgment
Requirement refers to the amount of services, manpower etc. required satisfy a given set of assumption
![Page 21: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Manpower projection
![Page 22: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Manpower projection
• There are varieties of manpower requirement projection method. These are:
1 Supply side projectionThis is done by cohort analysis and annual loss rate of manpower
2 Demand side projectionIn this following methods are used:
Health need methodHealth services target methodHealth (or economic) demand methodManpower/ population ratio method
![Page 23: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Health need method: This method seeks to determine what health services people
actually require to keep them healthy.
The determination are made by health professionals with or without the involvement of the consuming public and are based primarily on medical and technological consideration.
Other issues such as cost, the capacity to deliver the services needed and the degree to which people are seeking health services may be important but are secondary concern
It is especially useful in planning, preventive and public health programs and in countries with a strong data base, a reasonably adequate health system infrastructure and a strong commitment to planned change.
![Page 24: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Health service target method:
In this method the primary focus is on setting targets for the production and delivery of health services. The targets are established by the health authorities and may be based on a wide variety of inputs including health needs, economic demands, consumer wants and manpower ratios.
This method usually presupposes a health system that takes an active role in shaping sectoral development.
Its advantages includes flexibility, potential for disaggregating the several components of demand and less stringent data required than for the health need method.
Its limitation includes the risk that unrealistic targets will be set and that the degree of control over sectoral change will be overestimated.
![Page 25: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Health (or economic) demand method:This method asks what number and kinds of health
services people will actually use at the anticipated monetary and other cost of obtaining these services.
Current health service utilization rates are a good measure of the met demand for health services and the planner may also want to take into account the unmet demand for services, given certain assumption about their cost and accessibility.
It is chiefly applicable to private sector planning and to countries whose government policies are more concerned with anticipating than with actively shaping future sectoral development and in which there are no large inequalities in access to care.
![Page 26: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
HR/ Population relation method: This method uses an observed or desired
manpower/ population ratio as the basis for deriving manpower requirement. This method has been a favorite method in many countries, primarily because of its simplicity and easy to carry out.
The appropriate population to health workers ratio usually depends on the level of economic development and the type of health care system management in each country.

• The selection of an appropriate method or methods for requirement projection should take into account:
- The degree of government involvement in planning and health care delivery
- The quality of available data base and of planning expertise
- The degree to which the assessment result will be consonant with the general political, social and economic context of the country and
- Take into account past experiences in the production and utilization of health manpower.

Differing view
• Equity in access to health• Decentralized delivery of health care• Greater socio-economic inclusion and improved
outcomes for the poor.• Community participation• Accountability
Performance in terms of quantity and quality, responsiveness that essentially means addressing the issue or concern with appropriate measure and in time.
![Page 32: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Nepal’s health system is facing imbalances in the skill mix of staffs at the district level and also practical problems in geographical distribution
• Issues of role definition and job description has yet to be improved and a formal monitoring and supervising process is yet to be fully implemented.
• HRH , a component of HMIS should be utilized for comprehensive proactive management rather than confining only on personnel administration.
![Page 33: Analysis of Demand, Need and Requirement of Health Manpower at Real Situation Nava Raj Kandel Pratik Khanal BPH 22 nd Batch Maharajgunj Medical Campus](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfa41a28abf838c971c3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• The main challenge in Nepal is also the retention of health workers that has resulted in shortage of health infrastructure which are commonly aggravated by skewed distribution, movement from rural to urban areas, from public to private sectors.
• Contributing factors also include insufficient investment in pre-service training, migration, work overload, unattractive remuneration and work-environment issues.
• The public sector work setting can now be characterized by vacant posts, high turnover and loss to the private sector or abroad.
• Paradoxically, the country has higher number of health worker unemployment.
