According to Decision No. 869/QD-BYT, the human resource target of the Ministry of Health in the period of 2023-2050 will be maintained and increase stably. With a vision to 2050, the human resource target of the health sector will reach 35 doctors, 4.5 university pharmacists and 90 nurses per 10,000 people.
Concretizing the Government‘s Resolution No. 138/NQ-CP dated October 25, 2022 on the National Master Plan for the period 2021-2030, vision to 2050, on April 8, 2024, the Minister of Health issued Decision No. 869/QD-BYT approving the Health Human Resource Development Project for the period 2023-2030, orientation 2050.
Decision No. 869/QD-BYT aims to organize, assign specific targets and tasks for agencies, departments and organizations of the health ministry to implement in the coming period. The overall objective of the Human Resource Development Project of the Ministry of Health is to develop health human resources in sufficient quantity, quality assurance, professional capacity and medical ethics with reasonable structure and distribution in order to contribute to improving the quality of protection, caring for and improving people’s health, towards the goal of equity, efficiency, development and international integration. Decision 869/QD-BYT has planned human resources indicators for the health field, specifically as follows:
Quota on personnels in health field/10.000 people
| No | Personnel | Year 2023 | Year 2025 | Year 2030 | Year 2050 |
| 1 | Doctors | 12 | 15 | 19 | 35 |
| 2 | University Pharmacist | 3,06 | 3,4 | 4,0 | 4,5 |
| 3 | Nurses | 13 | 25 | 33 | 90 |
With the approval of the above target, Vietnam’s health sector has determined that the period from 2023 – 2030 prioritizes the maintenance and improvement of the quality of human resources in the medical sector rather than increasing in quantity. The approval of the above human resource development targets for the health sector also demonstrates the view of developing human resources stably and reasonably but still ensuring the number to ensure conditions for accessing and providing health care for all people, towards international integration. Data shows that the labor quota for medicine in OECD countries is currently 3.7 per 1000 people. Thus, towards 2050, Vietnam determines that the health human resource target will approach the current developed countries.
The above target also reflects the State’s interest in recruiting and training medical human resources in the above period. By increasing the annual target, enrollment and training are also necessary to be promoted.
