RESEARCH ON NEED-BASED HUMANRESOURCE FOR HEALTH FOR THE MINISTRY OF
HEALTH, MALAYSIA

Research on need-based HRH uses ‘workload’ as the basis for analysis. The methodology (Workload
Indicator for Staffing Needs, WISN) used for this research was developed by WHO. This method allowed
us to identify gaps between the numbers of pre-existing staffs with the number of staffs we need. This
will help in justifying the request to increase the number of job post later.

In 2017, Health Policy and Planning Section (PDPK) conducted an analysis on the projection of number
of medical specialists and medical officers that are needed in MoH until the year 2030 using workload
trend from 2010 to 2015 as the basis. The result of this analysis was given to the MoH’s Human
Resource Division as one of the inputs for the Cabinet’s Memorandum. Besides, PDPK officials were
invited to share their expertise with all stakeholders in health regarding the HRH analysis made on 10
professions which could help MoH in summarizing the numbers of staff needed.
