Abstract One of the most important components of strengthening the national health system is the introduction of an effective strategy for the development of human capital in the industry based on improving the status of health workers, changing the sectoral system of qualifications and their confirmation, changing approaches to the health education system, as well as improving the system of state planning for training health workers. The implementation of these measures will ensure an increase in the efficiency of human resources management in the industry, ensuring the provision of quality healthcare services. At the same time, the new sectoral policy of human resource management should be based on such principles as the availability of the necessary human resources, the proper competence of employees, integrated development of human resources, responsiveness of human resources to the needs of the population, continuous professional development, productivity of human resources, and social recognition. Key words: human resources for health, training of health workers, status of health workers
