Recursos humanos para la salud en el contexto de la reforma sanitaria en México: formación profesional y mercado laboral

Abstract

The role that human resources for health should play in future stages of the Mexican Health System reform is discussed. The following dimensions are considered to guide the discussion: the orientation of training, the institutions responsible for training, the mechanisms to link graduates to health institutions the ways health workers should respond to the current managerial modifications. Changes should be based on a pre defined strategic planning exercise based on institutional agreements which allow defining common objectives as well as clear procedures to attain those objectives.
