OVERVIEW
Human resources, when pertaining to health care, can be defined as the different kinds of clinical
and non-clinical staff responsible for public and individual health intervention. It is arguably the
most important of the health system jobs, the performance and the benefits the system can
deliver depend largely upon the knowledge, skills and motivation of those individuals
responsible for delivering health services.
The balance between the human and physical resources, it is also essential to maintain an
appropriate mix between the different types of health staff and caregivers to ensure the system's
success. Due to their obvious and important differences, it is imperative that human capital is
handled and managed very differently from physical capital. The relationship between human
resources and health care is very complex, and it merits further examination and study.
