National Policies

We share a number of papers presenting an overview of Human Resources for Health. Some of these were policy briefs written at different times for the Ministry.

The earlier is a policy brief written in 2011: Policy Brief: Human Resource for Health: The Crisis, the NRHM Response and the Policy Options,

A well-known and highly cited overview is the Lancet publication. Human resources for health in India; Prof Mohan Rao, Dr Krishna D Rao, AK Shiva Kumar, Mirai Chatterjee, Thiagarajan Sundararaman; The Lancet, Volume 377, Issue 9765, Pages 587 – 598, 12 February 2011. This was part of the Lancet Special Series on India.

A less well-known  Policy brief on Human Resources for Health, 2018, written for the Economic Advisory Committee of the Prime Minister, perhaps around 2018-19. This largely looked at the numbers required.
