The State Human Resources for Health Commission (SHRC) has been pivotal in shaping policies to innovate the human resources for health (HRH) landscape. From the inception, SHRC has played a crucial role in championing initiatives like the Mitanin (ASHA) and Rural Medical Assistant (RMA) programs. Its advocacy efforts have urged the state to devise strategies to attract and retain HRH personnel, ensuring timely recruitment and effective planning for rural and underserved areas. Central to SHRC's mission is the analysis of HRH cadres' demand and supply dynamics, encompassing production, deployment, and regional distribution. This analytical approach has facilitated the state in conducting timely recruitments and mitigating significant vacancy rates. Additionally, SHRC has collaborated with the State Institute of Health and Family Welfare (SIHFW) to craft drafts for the State Training Policy and transfer policies, further enhancing the framework for HRH development.
