In order for the health care sector to be able to respond to the multiple and rapid changes in the environment, it has to be a solid sector within. And an essential component to this strong sector is represented by the quality of the people within the system. In this order of ideas, a question is being posed relative to the human resource aspects which raise issues within the current system, and which also have the potential to raise issues in the future.

Currently, the medical system has managed to contain the costs of training and improving the quality of its staffs.

Poverty remains endemic in most Gulf States with health care and opportunities for quality education poor or unavailable, degraded habitats including urban pollution and poor soil conditions from inappropriate farming practices. Social safety nets are also entirely inadequate and all form part of the nexus of poverty that is widely prevalent in Gulf countries.
Human Resources Healthcare Strategic human resource management: Applications in a healthcare organization It has been said that one of the great ironies of healthcare is that despite the fact it is an industry where the 'human' dimension is so important, the HR department is often one of the most-overlooked aspects of healthcare organizations.

In the U.S., administrative costs are 31% of health care costs, compared with 19% in Canada. The proposed health care reform is also expected to improve health outcomes.
