Implementation of the action plan for human resources in the health system of Serbia--facing inherited problems.

Abstract

It is through an objective insight into the situation of the health system, in the period of a ten-year isolation of the country, that the policy of planning staff has been defined. The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Serbia has produced an Action Plan for Human Resources for 2005-2010, after having performed the analysis of the situation. It is based on the evaluation of the health status of the inhabitants and its internal migrations. The Action Plan is focused on the efforts to meet international standards with respect to the building of human resources in the health sector. The consistent implementation of defined norms is an important issue for further development of the health system and the maintenance of its sustainability.
