Human resources for health including health professionals and skilled health workers are crucial in shaping health outcomes. But the shortage of human resources in healthcare services is a reality and hence it has been a cause of concern in lower-middle income countries like India. The present exercise based on census data is a situation analysis of size, composition and distribution of human resources available in the Indian healthcare services. It also explores the relationship between educational development and health workers availability alongside the association between density of health workers and health outcomes across states of India. It is observed that despite the remarkable improvement in health workers density particularly during 2001–2011, the country is falling short of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) need-based minimum requirement (4.45 health workers per 1,000 population) of health workers. The exploratory verification asserts that there is a significant and strong positive relationship/association between the density of health workers and health outcomes.

印度医疗保健方面的人力资源

包括卫生专业人员和熟练卫生工作者在内的卫生人力资源对于塑造卫生成果至关重要。但是，医疗保健服务中的人力资源短缺是现实，因此，在印度等中低收入国家中，这已引起人们的关注。基于人口普查数据的当前工作是对印度医疗服务机构中可用人力资源的规模，组成和分布进行的情况分析。它还探讨了教育发展与卫生工作者的可获得性之间的关系，以及印度各州卫生工作者的密度与卫生成果之间的关系。据观察，尽管特别是在2001-2011年期间，卫生工作者的密度有了显着改善，该国没有达到世界卫生组织（WHO）基于需求的卫生工作者的最低要求（每1,000人中有4.45名卫生工作者）。探索性验证断言，医务人员的密度与健康结果之间存在显着且牢固的正相关关系。
