title: [The question of human resources and health reform].
abstract: In this article, the author analyses briefly the main considerations that will be the bases for the establishment of a human resources policy in the health sector. It is not the purpose of the article to determine priorities or to set strategies. It will be up to the National Commission of Sanitary Reform (CNRS) to make policy decisions and to conduct the process. The text is divided in the following topics: distribution of human resources; inequalities regarding admittance to the work force; development and training; internal composition of the health teams; and evaluation of the professional. The author's approach in each topic is to identify the problem, propose solutions, and examine the implications.
