[Statistical indicators as a basis for the assessment of the demand of human resources for health in armenia].
In conditions of new economic and legal relations in the "state vs. population vs. healthcare sector" system an analysis is required not only on the performance of the health care system, its certain services and organizations but also the analysis of other statistical indicators describing demographic changes, mortality and morbidity are needed. The situational analysis of the mentioned parameters for the 2002-2007 year has been conducted in Armenia based on the official information available from different agencies and organizations. Comparative indicators are derived from the permanent population of the country. There is no strict tendency revealed in both morbidity (according to the incidence rate) and mortality rates. There is sufficient number of beds (40.6 per 10,000 population) in case of hospitalization of 8.9 patients per 100 population; the average number of visits to health care facilities is 3.0 per one citizen. Despite the compliance of the numbers of medical personnel with the European average (37.5 per 10,000 population) as well as the intensive training of the specialists by National Institute of Health there is a misbalance and significant number of vacant positions in the provinces of Armenia. This study makes a basis for developing of recommendations for the optimization of the human resources management in Armenia.
