- W4246309488 abstract "Abstract BACKGROUND: Investment in human resources for health not only strengthen the health system but also generates employment and contributes to economic growth. India can gain from enhanced investment in health workforce in multiple ways. This study in addition to presenting updated estimates on size and composition of health workforce, identifies areas of investment in health workforce in India. METHODS: We analyzed two sources of data: i) National Health Workforce Account (NHWA) 2018 and ii) Periodic Labour Force Survey 2017-18 of the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO). Using the two sources we collated comparable estimates of different categories of health workers in India, density of health workforce and skill-mix at the all India and state levels. RESULTS: The study estimated (from NHWA 2018) a total stock of 5.76 million health workers which included allopathic doctors (1.16 million), nurses/midwives (2.34 million), pharmacist (1.20 million), dentists (0.27 million), and traditional medical practitioner (AYUSH 0.79 million). However, the active health workforce size estimated (from NSSO2017-18) is much lower (3.12 million) with allopathic doctors and nurses/midwives estimated as 0.80 million and 1.40 million respectively. Stock density of doctor and nurses/mid-wives are 8.8 and 17.7 respectively per 10,000 persons as per NHWA. However, active health workers’ density (estimated from NSSO) of doctor and nurses/mid-wives are estimated to be 6.1 and 10.6 respectively. The numbers further drop to 5.0 and 6.0 respectively after accounting for the adequate qualifications. All these estimates are well below the WHO threshold of 44.5 doctor, nurses and midwives per 10,000 population. The results reflected highly skewed distribution of health workforce across states, rural-urban and public-private sectors. A substantial proportion of active health worker were found not adequately qualified on the one hand and on the other more than 20% of qualified health professionals are not active in labour markets. CONCLUSION: India needs to invest in HRH for increasing the number of active health workers and also improve the skill-mix which requires investment in professional colleges and technical education. India also needs encouraging qualified health professionals to join the labour markets and additional trainings and skill building for already working but inadequately qualified health workers." @default.
