The Hanoitimes - Vietnam is in dire need of about 444,500
medical staff by 2015, said the Ministry of Health at a meeting in Hanoi on
November 14, held to implement plans to increase more human resources in the
medical sector for the period 2012-2020.
At least 444,500 more medical
staff is required in the country and in addition there is need to train an
additional 14,252 doctors, pharmacists and nurses.
The medical sector needs to focus
on qualified medical staff and provide proper provisions for them in districts
which seriously lack doctors.
The medical sector also has to
improve management capabilities as well as adopt a favored treatment for
medical staff, especially those working in remote mountainous regions and
impoverished areas of the country.
The medical sector is also
striving to raise the ratio of doctors per capita by 2020 to 52 medical staff
per 10,000 people; 10 doctors per 10,000 people; and 20 nurses per 10,000
people.
To achieve this target, the
sector will establish two health science facilities in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh
City.
