1. BACKGROUND: There is increasing evidence of a strong correlation between the density of human

resources for health (HRH) in a country and health outcomes of the population. But

many countries lack the right numbers of health workers in the right places to deliver

essential health interventions, such as immunization and skilled attendance at delivery.

There are various causes of these shortages and imbalances; which include limited

production capacity as a result of years of poor planning and underinvestment in health

education and training institutions. Often, training outputs are poorly aligned with the

health needs of the population. There are also "push" and "pull" factors that affect

workforce retention and may encourage health service providers to leave their

workplaces, including those related to unsatisfactory working conditions, poor

remuneration and career opportunities, and other labour market pressures. In

particular, the international migration of large numbers of health workers further

weakens the already fragile health systems in many low and middle income countries.

Underlying all this is the inability of national HRH information systems to generate

adequate and timely data to inform evidence-based decision making for policies and

programmes.

The 2006 World Health Report identified 57 countries facing a health workforce crisis.

Each of these countries has fewer than 23 health workers (doctors, nurses, midwives)

per 10,000 people - the minimum required to achieve an 80% coverage rate for deliveries

by skilled birth attendants or for measles immunization. The World Health Report 2006

working together for health contains an expert assessment of the current crisis in the

global health workforce and ambitious proposals to tackle it over the next ten years,

starting immediately. The report reveals an estimated shortage of almost 4.3 million

doctors, midwives, nurses and support workers worldwide.

Pakistan is one of the 57 countries that have been identified by World Health

Organization as facing a crisis in Human Resources in Health (HRH). The WHO strategy

for addressing the global health workforce crisis (the World Health Report 2006)

describes WHO's vision and approaches to ensure that all people have equitable access

to an adequately trained, skilled and supportive health workforce, in order to attain the

highest possible level of health.

7. INDUCTION, MATRICULATION AND INAUGURATION: Induction and Matriculation of the selected candidates for the course was conducted on

15th and 16th of January 2011. A brief introduction about the course was given by the

course leader, Ms Jean Robson. Dr Saira Tariq, Instructor-HSA, gave a brief orientation

presentation about Health Services Academy to all the newly inducted students of PG

Cert HRH. Then the students were matriculated with QMU for the said course. The

course was started on 17th January 2011, after a formal Inauguration ceremony at

Health Services Academy attended by the Federal Minister of Health, Executive Director,

HSA, Representatives from QMU, GIZ & USAID at Health Services Academy.

8. FACILITATORS: For this course, teaching was mainly done by the facilitators from Queen Margaret

9. LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT: The method of study used is called “blended learning.” This means that the course was

made up of a number of components, including self-tests, class-based learning,

readings, videos, virtual learning environment (WebCT), small student led group work

and practical field exercises. This involved the students in becoming an active learner,

taking responsibility for motivating yourself, pacing their studies and managing their

workload. The students were expected to actively participate in the discussions, debates

and activities in both the face to face sessions and also the on-line discussions through

the use of WebCT. The students were expected to be able to cope with increased

independent learning and to use their tutor as a resource rather than a provider of

knowledge.

To keep the teaching process interactive, interesting, understandable and effective;

multi-methods were used. For example;

Study Pack

Multimedia presentations

Use of Flip Charts

Use of white board

Zopp cards

Group work & Presentations

Field Visits

Exercises

Assessment strategies included both formative and summative. Assessment is

academically challenging and facilitates the application of reflective skills, critical

analysis and reasoned decision making. This was achieved through the use of varied

strategies such as oral and poster presentations, written assignments, reports,

attendance in the class and active participation during group work and class

discussions.

Every participant was provided with two books (Student Handbook & Module 1 Study

Pack). Continuous electric supply was ensured to avoid any un-necessary delay and

interruptions resulting in wastage of time during the course of study.

10. PARTICIPANTS: The Senior and Mid-Level managers of both Public and Private sector attended the

course. The faculty and students of HSA who want to build their career in HRH were

also enrolled in the course. A parliamentary Secretary for Health and Member National

Assembly has also attended the PG Cert HRH. The programme is expected to develop

special competencies in the management of Human resources amongst the students.

The course will also contribute in research and knowledge production in the field of

HRH.

A total of 25 students mainly comprising of male (72%) were registered with QMU for the

PG certificate HRH course. The students had liberty to register themselves as full time or

part time. The full time student had to attend all the three modules in the same year.

While part time students can complete the program within three years. 20 students were

registered as full time while five students were registered as part time. For module-I

(NM-251) & module-III (NM-253), 23 students were registered while 21 students were

registered for module-II (NM-252). Students from different provinces of the country

attended the course (shown in table & graph below)

12. CLASS REPRESENTATION: As per criteria of QMU & HSA, two representatives from the class were elected through

voting system. All the class members participated in voting for their representatives. Dr

Shahzad Faisal was elected as the Class Representative while Dr Shefa Haider was

elected as Deputy Class Representative by the class.

13. ATTENDANCE SUMMARY: Levels of students’ attendance during the HRH course have been the focus of HSA and

QMU interest. So attendance record was maintained for each student throughout the

course. Attendance for each student was recorded twice a day (morning & evening

session). During the attendance analysis it was found that majority (90%) of the

students had had very few recorded periods of absence, which is very encouraging

especially when the students comprise of elected members of national assembly and

senior level managers. The attendance percentage was highest for module-II (NM-252).

No students had less than 50% attendance for module-III (NM-253). It was also observed

that method for recording the attendance was not well organised so the possibilities of

human errors could not be ruled out in recording the attendance during classes.

14. RESULT OF PG CERT HRH, 2011: Total seventeen students have successfully earned Post Graduate Certificate in HRH

from Queen Margaret University. Three out of twenty full time registered students are

required to re-submit their assignments by August, 2011. For the Part time students,

four out of five students (80%) have successfully cleared their respective modules. One

part time student will also have to re-submit the assignment by August, 2011.

15. STUDENTS FEEDBACK Each student was asked to fill a module evaluation form at the end of each module for

their feedback. Likert scale was used for the feedback from students. Analysis of the

feedback was done using SPSS version 16. The results of feedback are discussed in

detail below.

Page 17

15.1. LEARNING OBJECTIVES WERE ACHIEVED:

Most of the students agreed persistently over the all three modules that learning

objectives for each module were successfully achieved. However responses for the

second (NM-252) module were inconsistent with the other two modules. Perhaps this

may be because a lot of calculations (WISN, Aberdeen, birth rate plus, Dewdney etc)

were involved in the second module, which were not easy for the students.

15.2. CLASSES WERE GENERALLY WELL PREPARED AND ORGANIZED

Majority of the students reported that classes were well prepared and organized

during the whole PG cert course. Similar problem is noticed for module II (NM-252) in

which some students disagreed.

15.3. ADEQUATE HELP WAS AVAILABLE WHEN NEEDED

Majority of the student agreed that adequate help was available when needed in all

the three modules. However percentage for the response “strongly agree” decreased

over the subsequent module.

15.4. PACE OF MODULE

As whole students were comfortable with the pace of the module, however for

module-III (NM-253) students found the pace “fast”.

15.5. COURSE WORK

Students found second module (NM-252) as most difficult one amongst all the three

modules. This may be again due to the same reason of numerous calculations were

involved in this particular module. Fortunately none of the student found any of the

modules “far too difficult”. It is also noticeable that no student considered any

module “far too easy”. This depicts that the curriculum for the PG cert is well

prepared taking the students capabilities in consideration.

15.6. AMOUNT OF COURSE WORK REQUIRED

Most of the students reported that amount of the course work required was neither

too little nor too much. However according to 47% of the students the course work for

module-III was “much” which should be taken in to consideration.

15.7. FEED BACK ON PROGRESS

Feed back on progress of module-I and module-III was reported good by majority of

students, however progress for module-II (NM-252) was not reported as good by

majority of the students.

Page 18

15.8. LIBRARY RESOURCES

The students had varied experiences with library resources in all the three modules

of PG certificate; however majority of the students reported neither good nor poor.

Overall students were not comfortable with library resources.

15.9. IT RESOURCES

IT resources area was found to be the most concerned area by the students during all

the three modules, perhaps because of their poor background/previous knowledge

regarding IT.

15.10. OVER ALL THE MODULE WAS

The overall impression of the students about all the three modules was encouraging

as majority of the participants found the course interesting. The least interesting

module in PG cert HRH was module-II (NM-252) in which 21% of students reported

the module as either boring or extremely boring.

The students were also asked to fill any comments and observations regarding the each

module in four main categories;

15.11. THREE KEY THINGS LEARNED:

Most of the students stated that during first module (NM-251) they learnt the importance of

HRH, problem analysis and improvement in personal skills. Few students mentioned

specific topics from the course contents which they learnt during the course duration.

During Module-II (NM-252), according to the students they learnt Workforce planning,

WISN and other planning tools.

While in the last module (NM-253) the students said that they learnt performance

appraisal, Job analysis, writing and re-designing job descriptions, motivation and training

need assessment.

15.12. THREE THINGS LIKED:

Majority of the students appreciated the teaching methodology and the facilitation provided

by the facilitators during their stay at HSA for all the three modules of PG cert HRH. The

students also liked the classroom environment, group work, practical work and content of

the course of all the three modules.

Page 19

15.13. THREE THINGS THAT COULD BE IMPROVED:

Better IT/internet resources and Accommodation were the top most points mentioned by

the students which need improvement. Cleanliness of hostel and cafeteria was another

concern of students. The students also showed some concern about the handouts, like the

handouts should be provided prior to the lecture and should be with large font size. Few

students were of the view that the timing for group work should be increased. Scholarship

issues, mechanism for feedback after each session and quality of the external facilitators

were some other areas highlighted by the students to be looked into.

During first module (NM-251) the students mentioned that there should be some time

spared for tea break after the first session which was adjusted by the module coordinators

for the rest of two modules.

For Module-II (NM-252) the student demanded for more time to understand the planning

tools and calculation (WISN, Aberdeen etc). The students also stated that all the students

should be given equal time and each students should be involved during the calculations.

For module-III (NM-253), the major concern of the students was about the external

facilitators. According the students they have bossy attitude in the classroom.

15.14. COMMENTS FOR FACILITATORS:

All most all the students highly appreciated the facilitators regarding their competency,

cooperation, support and encouragement. According to the students the facilitators are

mature, hardworking, punctual and friendly however according to the one of the student

the facilitators from HSA were too busy in other issues.
