STATISTICS ON HUMAN RESOURCES FOR HEALTH OF THE REPUBLIC OF BELARUS ACCORDING TO INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
In 2010 in order to compare statistics of Belarus and other countries of the European Region a pilot project under the title "Questionnaire on Human Resources for Health", aimed at data acquisition of non-financial health care statistics, was realized by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus. In 2012 official statistical data on human resources for health of Belarus were submitted to the WHO Regional Office for Europe for inclusion in the j oint questionnaire of Eurostat /OECD/ WHO Europe. It was established that the rate of general practitioners in the Republic of Belarus was comparable with other countries in the European region and it was to the middle European standard. There was no redundancy of health professionals and their number was sufficient to provide the necessary volume of medical care in Belarus.
