Shortage of human resources for health is apparent in Nepal. The current HRH strategy has tried to address the demand for skilled birth attendants, MDGPs, gynecologists, anesthetists, radiologists and other health workforce. Despite the increased number of institutions, there is still shortage of health workforce due to ineffective monitoring. This study was undertaken to find out the situation of HRH production in Nepal.
This cross sectional study was conducted from September 2012 to February 2013. The primary focus was on the quantitative method by using the format for the data collection. The main study samples were the academic institutions of Nepal. The finding was analyzed and tabulated in the summary form.
There were a total of 294 institutions to produce different cadres of health workforce in Nepal. Staff nurses (101) and CMAs (76) have been produced by the maximum number of institutions. The result revealed that the institutions were not producing the graduates upon their capacity, only 1,451 staff nurse graduated annually against the capacity of producing 4,017 per annum. Although Nepal has a capacity to produce 1,760 MBBS, 267 MD and 116 MS doctors, only 1,074 Nepali MBBS, 222 MD and 95 MS doctors graduated per year.
The health institutions performance is lower in producing HRH compared to their capacity in the country. A long-term effort is now required to match demand and supply of the HRH in the country.
尼泊尔卫生人力资源短缺问题明显。当前的卫生人力资源战略试图满足对熟练助产士、乡村医生、妇科医生、麻醉师、放射科医生及其他卫生工作者的需求。尽管机构数量有所增加，但由于监测不力，卫生人力仍存在短缺。本研究旨在了解尼泊尔卫生人力资源培养的情况。
本横断面研究于2012年9月至2013年2月进行。主要侧重于采用数据收集格式的定量方法。主要研究样本是尼泊尔的学术机构。研究结果以汇总形式进行分析和列表。
尼泊尔共有294个机构培养不同类别的卫生人力。培养 staff nurses（101名）和CMAs（76名）的机构数量最多。结果显示，各机构并未按其能力培养毕业生，每年仅有1451名staff nurse毕业，而其每年的培养能力为4017名。尽管尼泊尔有能力培养1760名MBBS、267名MD和116名MS医生，但每年仅有1074名尼泊尔MBBS、222名MD和95名MS医生毕业。
该国卫生机构在培养卫生人力资源方面的表现低于其能力。现在需要长期努力以匹配该国卫生人力资源的供需。
