FOREWORD

The Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar continues with the implementation of ZPRP, whose
overall objective is to eradicate poverty and promote the well - being of her people.

All developing countries emphasize the poverty reduction policy and strategies in different
sectors (through chosen productive employment and the provision of basic social services
including quality health care delivery through knowledge, skills and right attitude of their human
resource as a basis for increasing productivity and overall human development).

The status of health in any country is a useful indicator of human development and therefore the
poverty levels. The implication of this fact is that health care services must be made accessible
(on an equitable basis) to all Zanzibar. In addition, it must respond or be relevant to the needs of
all persons in Zanzibar on other words the Health system must be seen to function optimally: for
this to happen Human Resource for Health Development is a critical element.

The Human Resource for Health Development Plan emphasizes on improving quality of health
care by providing the right number of health worker in the right place, at the right time, with the
right skills and motivation in line with Zanzibar Health Sector Reform guidelines.

The aim of the plan is to build HRH management capacity at district and higher-level
institutions/organizations and to strengthen the mechanism for productivity and proper utilization
of available HRH plan through integration of HMIS database with the MOH&SW.

However, the success of implementation of the HRH Plan depends on the cooperation and or
collaboration with all stakeholders including other government ministries and departments,
partners/donors and more critically, the community, which is the ultimate consumer of the health
services.

It is on this note that I invite wide participation and commitment to make this plan successful in
contributing to strengthening Zanzibar’s health system. I encourage every one to take this
document seriously as it has the full backing of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare and
the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar in general.

It is a homegrown initiative based on our problems and needs with interventions that will have
far reaching implications for the health of our people and the development of Zanzibar as a
whole. Together we can make a difference.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Situation Analysis Study identified problems in a number of areas including HRH planning,
management, HRH development, HRH quality in relation to performance and HRH financing.
The HRH Policy was formulated to address the issues raised in the Situation Analysis Study and
the previous study conducted by the African Development Bank.

This five year HRH Plan has tried to translate some of the concerns addressed in the HRH Policy
and the Situation Analysis Study into implementable activities in eight priority areas, namely:
HRH Medium Term Plan, HRH Development, Retention, Quality Care at all levels, HRH Data
Base, Capacity Building for the College of Health Sciences (CHS), Mnazi Mmoja as a Referral
Hospital and Monitoring and Evaluation. The main aim of the plan is to develop the HRH by
improving their skills and management capacity that will ensure provision of quality health
services.

Interventions are proposed to:

• Disseminate and promote the HRH Medium Term Plan to stakeholders,


• Restructure the HRH Division within the Department,
• Ensure effective and efficient running of the Personnel Unit,
• Have adequate number of skilled personnel in the health sector,
• Create a conducive working environment to MOHSW staff,
• Build management and organization capacity in line with HSR/ZPRP,
• Strengthen the HRH Information System (Data Bank),
• Upgrade the knowledge and skills of CHS staff,
• Make the College of Health Sciences (CHS) recognized by NACTE and other learning
institutions,
• Ensure access to essential equipments and supplies to meet the demand of the CHS,
• Increase the CHS income,
• Increase the quality and standard of work performance at the CHS,
• Introduce incentive packages in the CHS,
• Establish an integrated Health Management Information System (HMIS) for CHS,
• Develop and transform Mnazi Mmoja Hospital (MMH) into a functional semi-
autonomous Referral Hospital,
• Increase the quality and standard of work performance at MMH,
• Build the capacity of health care workers at MMH to deliver quality health care, and
• Monitor and evaluate the HRH Medium Term Plan implementation process

The Five-year HRH Plan is estimated to cost US $ 6,438,220, and its breakdown per Priority
Area is as follows:

• HRH Medium Term Plan US $ 33,500


• HRH Development US $ 4,653,720
• Retention US $ 40,000

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 1


• Quality Care at all Levels US $ 75,000
• HRH Data Base US $ 70,000
• Capacity Building for the College of Health Sciences US $ 878,000
• Mnazi Mmoja as a Referral Hospital US $ 653,000
• Monitoring and Evaluation US $ 35,000

HRH Development has taken the lion’s share of the total estimate (72.3 per cent). This is
justifiable because this priority area deals with the development of staff of the primary and
secondary levels of health care, which constitute the majority of workforce in health care
delivery.

The Medium Term Plan will require an annual average budget of US $ 1,287,644.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.0 Country Profile

Zanzibar comprise of two main Islands, Unguja and Pemba. Unguja Island covers an
area of about 1464 square kilometers and Pemba Island covers an area of about 864
square kilometers. There are five administrative regions, three in Unguja and two in
Pemba island which are subdivided into 10 districts and more than 230 Shehias, the
lowest administrative level of the government structure.

After the 1964 revolution, Zanzibar joined with the then Tanganyika to form the United
Republic of Tanzania. Zanzibar maintains its own government and is directly responsible
for all non-union affairs, including health services.

1.1 Demography

According to the 2002 Population and Housing Census, Zanzibar has a total population of
984,625 people with an annual growth rate of 3.1%1. Unguja has a population of
622,459 and Pemba has 362,166. Viewed from a gender perspective, the female
population is 502,006 while the male population is 482,610. Zanzibar is one among the
highest densely populated areas in Africa with about 370 people per square kilometre.
However, urban centres such as Zanzibar town, which is the capital of the country, have
higher density rates.

1.2 Health Service Infrastructures

Health service in Zanzibar is organized through 118 Primary Health Care Unit
(PHCU’s), 4 Primary Health Care Centre (PHCC), 3 district hospitals, Mental,
Mwembeladu Maternity home, and Mnazi Mmoja Referral Hospital.

1.3 Health Status

The life expectancy at birth for Zanzibar was estimated to be 48 years by 2002. The
infant mortality rate for Zanzibar is estimated at 83 per 1000 and for children below five
years mortality is 114.3 per 10002. Maternal mortality rate is estimated at 377 per
100,0003 live births, and continues to be high despite the numerous health service
delivery interventions.

1.4 Burden of disease

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 3


Zanzibar has documented marked increases of both communicable and non-
communicable diseases. Cardiovascular diseases and Neoplasms account for a greater
proportion of the NCD while Malaria (which accounts for more than 40% of both the
admitted as well as OPD cases) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in
Zanzibar.

Periodic cholera outbreaks with marked fatalities have also been documented. Like many
of the Sub-Saharan African countries, Zanzibar has also experienced slight rise of the
cumulative HIV/AIDS cases, with a general population seroprevalence of 0.6% among
the sexually active adults (MOHSW 2002) with a significant presence of predisposing
risk factors.

1.5 HRH statement in Health Policy:

The Zanzibar Health Policy, which was endorsed by the 19th session of the 5th Zanzibar
House of Representatives on the 17th day of April 2000, underscores the importance of
human resources. One of its objectives is to ensure the availability of adequate number of
skilled personnel at all levels of health care delivery. This is to be achieved through the
following strategies:
• Developing a human resource plan that meets the health services delivery plans;
• Abiding by the advice on personnel policy and regulations as set by the Government
of Zanzibar;
• Developing a training policy and plan that includes basic, post-basic training,
continuing education and induction.

1.6 Plan Purpose:

Human resources in the health sector take long periods to train and after being trained
they are characterized by high mobility. This makes it necessary to develop a human
resource plan to contribute to effective stabilization of the labour force in the sector. The
plan is more important now when the Ministry is seeking to improve the quantity and
quality of health service delivery.

In the process of implementing the Health Sector Reform, priority will be given to human
resources for health by ensuring that qualified and skilled personnel provide the services
needed at all levels.

The HRH study conducted in May/June 2003 revealed the following:

• There is improper balance, distribution and utilization of HRH at all levels of health
care delivery both in the rural and urban areas.
• There is no clearly stipulated essential health care package at all levels of care.
• There is no staffing level document (Staff Establishment) for all levels of health care
in Zanzibar.

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 4


To address the above concerns, there was justification to develop a HRH Medium Term
Plan that will ensure the availability of the right number of human resources at the right
place, with the right skills at the right time and at affordable cost.

1.7 Human Resource planning concepts:

In developing a Human Resource Plan, there are various elements that need to be
addressed in order to develop an implementable Plan. These include:

1.7.1 Human Resource Demand:Demand:


This is a requirement for specified types of staff with particular skills to carry out the
work of an organization based on its objectives. It is usually expressed as a number of
posts (staff) required at a particular time. Demand forecasting is an essential feature of
managerial decision-making. The basic questions that need to be answered include:
- Does the work need to be done?
- Are the correct numbers of employees doing it?
- Have the employees the requisite skills?

There are different ways of estimating demand. Hall T. and Mejia A. (1978) outline four
ways of estimating demand within the health sector based on:
- Health needs
- Service targets
- Health (or economic) demand
- Human resource/ population ratio

In any Human Resource Planning activity in the health sector, a mixture of these four
methods will be used. In preparing the HRH Medium Term Plan for Zanzibar, the first,
third and fourth methods were used to determine the staffing levels for the primary,
secondary and tertiary levels of health care.

1.7.2 Supply:
Supply represents the availability of the organisation’s workforce, i.e. the numbers of
people categorized by occupation, grade, level, skill etc. that are available for work now
and in the future. The basis for this is provided by human resource stock taking.

1.7.3 Human Resource Stock taking:


It involves carrying out of personnel inventory to determine the existing numbers and
deployment by level of care, cadre, grade and sex. It also involves estimating the attrition
rates for the major cadres of staff and reviewing the levels of productivity, including
coverage and anticipated expansion of health facilities.

Supply forecasting is part of Human Resource Planning. Essentially, it is about


generating predictions of the future. It is a necessary guide to the decision makers. It
enables them to influence future events by adjusting Human Resource strategies and
policies to ensure a match between human resource demand and supply that shifts the
organization forward to achieving optimum performance.

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 5


Human Resource Supply forecasting requires an understanding of how staffs move into
and out of service. The basic variables involved are:
- Recruitment
1. Direct from training
2. Transfers in
- Wastage (losses) from the organization through:
1. Emigration
2. Transfers out
3. Retirement
4. Death

Stocktaking for Zanzibar HRH was done in 2003 by conducting the Situation Analysis
Study and head count of all staff that were in post by occupation, level of education and
health facility. Supply forecasting was done by estimating the number of students who are
taking medical and health programmes at various training institutions who will be
graduating in the coming five years. These will be recruited by the various health
facilities. Other staff will be transferred in the health facilities from other organizations.
Forecasting for wastage was not done because currently, there are no ratios for the four
components for Zanzibar. A separate study is needed that will come out with such ratios.

1.7.4 Career Development:


This is an organized, planned effort consisting of structured activities or processes that
align organizational and individual goals. There are two aspects involved in this process,
namely, career planning and career management.

In career planning a deliberate effort is made to determine opportunities, choices,


consequences and constraints; to identify career related goals and programme work,
education and training to reach those goals. Career management is a process of preparing,
implementing and monitoring career plans undertaken by the individual alone or in
conjunction with the organisation’s career system. These two aspects need to be
integrated in an organisation’s development plan.

Career development is an important concept in Human Resource Planning in the sense


that it addresses individual needs as well as organizational pressures. The individual has
motivational needs, wants pay and job security and also an opportunity to grow and
develop. In terms of organizational pressure, career development can be a means of
solving certain human resource problems such as high labour turnover among
professionals and low productivity among middle level workers.

In the case of Zanzibar, a career development of the core medical cadres has been
suggested (See Annex VI). It shows the scope of the career ladder from the time of
recruitment of a worker to the time of his/her retirement.

CHAPTER TWO

HUMAN RESOURCE FOR HEALTH POLICY

2.0 General Aim of the Policy

The Ministry has developed a HRH policy which aims at addressing the HRH challenges
and issues such that a framework to achieve a balanced multi disciplinary health work
force, well trained, motivated and equitably distributed according to the health needs and
health facilities shall be developed, managed and sustained.

2.1 Policy Goals

• To contribute to poverty reduction through ensuring universal and equitable


access to primary health services,
• To align health sector human resource development plans with the health needs,
• To establish transparent human resource management functions and procedures in
accordance with the existing and future civil service procedures and regulations,
• To establish reliable financial resources mobilization mechanisms to support
training programmes for individual, community, government and collaborating
agencies.

2.2 Policy Objectives

• Provide the human resource planning mechanism and guidelines,


• Institutionalise and practice the recruitment, deployment management procedures for
HRH,
• Institutionalise the HRH quality maintenance methods,
• Create alternative mechanisms for human resource financing,
• Re-activate Professional Councils to monitor standards, ethical and discipline issues.
• Manage HRH development including career development.

2.3 The HRH Policy Priority Areas

2.3.1 Organization of the Human Resource Division


Human resource for health Division (HRD) will be established and will be responsible
for Human Resource for Health at MOHSW under the directorate of Planning and
Administration. The division will coordinate and control Human Resources for Health
policy compliance through monitoring its existing units, planning, development and
management. The division shall be headed by a duly qualified officer, and shall be
assisted by a competent team.

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 7


2.3.2 Planning
The Division of Human Resource for Health at MOHSW will be responsible for
coordinating and controlling Human Resources for Health planning and management
practices in the country. The plan shall indicate skills mix based on demand and needs,
workload, turn over and costs. The plan shall be reviewed at the end of but not later than
the 4th year in the current plan period.

2.3.3 Training
Training will ensure that human resource for Health is qualified and prepared to meet the
disease pattern and health care needs of the country.

2.3.4 Recruitment, Deployment and Management


All employees will be served with induction/orientation training upon their recruitment to
understand better job content and context. In this regard, a health personnel management
system (HPMS) shall be established and the function assigned to dully trained and
qualified staff.
The HRH management will ensure that the Personnel Information System (PIS) is used to
assist in planning for retirees’ replacement particularly for professionals and management
cadres. Other causes of attrition shall also be monitored through the PIS and replacement
action decisions taken.

2.3.5 Human Resource Quality Maintenance


The Human Resource division will coordinate the review of supervision guidelines for
each level of health facility personnel based on their competencies and working
environment.
In liaison with the Civil Service Department, the HRD will develop a transparent
performance appraisal scheme based on job objectives and develop a performance
appraisal audit mechanism to monitor the processes and their outcome.

2.3.6 Human Resource Financing


The human resource financing will attract a consortium of actors, including government,
individual, donor community and other collaborating agencies.

2.3.7 Ethics, Discipline, and Human Rights


The Professional bodies will be entrusted to compliment Civil Service regulations in the
monitoring of adherence to professional ethics, discipline, and human rights at work
places in line with the provisions of respective governing councils/boards.

2.3.8 Plan Implementation and Evaluation


The Human Resource Division will on medium term basis convene the stakeholders to
review the outcomes of plan implementation and relevance of the plan contents in line
with HRH policy.

CHAPTER THREE

HRH SITUATION ANALYSIS

3.0 Government initiatives

The Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar in her endeavor to control diseases and


manage effectively the protection of her people’s health and alleviate suffering,
developed a policy that included provision of free, accessible and equitable health
services to both urban and rural population.

Human Resource for Health has been an issue that has received significant attention in
the health care delivery system in Zanzibar in almost all post independence health policy
documents. The familiar Vision 2020 and the Zanzibar Poverty Reduction Plan (ZPRP)
have both highlighted the need to improve HR for Zanzibar and the recently approved
Health Sector Reform Strategy has specifically stressed the need for a sound HRH system
for efficient and effective delivery of health services in Zanzibar.

3.1 Successes

There have been remarkable successes as briefly outlined below:


• The primary health care facilities are in place and they fall under two categories:
PHCUs and PHCCs: There are 118 PHCUs and 4 PHCCs, (2 in Unguja and 2 in
Pemba) offering PHC services. The PHCCs act as referral centers for PHCUs. These
together form the PHC infrastructure at the lowest level. This expanded PHC
infrastructure called for expanded production of health cadres. The first line primary
Health care Units provide out patient and community health services to the population
ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 peoples. They have two beds for observation. The second
line Primary health care units are the same as first line PHCUs, but in addition they
provide laboratory and dental services. They have four beds for observation and two
beds for delivery. The primary health care centres provide health services to the
population of about 50,000 peoples. They provide in-patient and out patient services
and they are referral facilities for the first and second line PHCUs. They have 30
beds.
• The Ministry has managed to establish the College of Health Sciences (CHS) that
generates paramedical staff for the PHC levels.
• Opportunities exist for training undergraduate and post graduate Doctors,
Pharmacists, Dentists and other health cadres in Tanzania mainland and overseas
Universities. Training of Health workers to work at different levels of the health care
system started in the late 1930’s.
• The Continuing Education programme is well organized and managed, and integrates
training of all cadres in the front line. The creation of Continuing Education
Committees, Resource Centers near PHCUs and PHCCs is an example of this.
• The Personnel Information System is in place with software, which will assist the
human resource for health planning and management.

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 9


• Schemes of service for health personnel have been reviewed and implemented in
2001.

3.2 Identified Problems

3.2.1 HRH Planning


Zanzibar lacks a HRH plan drawing from a clear HRH policy. Specifically, the following
shortfalls exist:

There is no elaborate HRH Plan,


Staffing levels are not available (Staff Establishment)
Frontline health facilities still face shortages of staff in the right skills mix due to
misdistribution
HRH Personnel Information System is not regularly up-dated and the reporting system
is not in place.

3.2.2 Management
The Ministry’s organizational structure follows the traditional models of having so many
hierarchical points of authority with overlapping roles, characterized by poor
coordination.
Government rules and procedures that are in place are not well implemented. Such rules
and procedures include:
- Recruitment and selection of personnel,
- Induction/on the-job-training,
- Succession planning
- Performance management and career development,
- Codes of conduct,
- Disciplinary and grievances procedures,
- Structure and administration of remuneration and other benefits.
There is misallocation of the available HRH.
- The majority of front-line workers targeted to work at PHCUs and PHCCs are
inappropriately placed at the Referral Hospital and PHCUs that are located in
urban areas, thus negating their planned deployment.
- The human resources are deployed into specific vertical programs rather than
placed in health facilities where they can provide the services cost effectively and
in an integrated manner.
Performance appraisal guidelines are not in place and most heads of departments do not
understand the appraisal system.
Unqualified personnel fill some technical and managerial posts. This is particularly so at
PHCC, ZHMT, DHMT, and District Hospitals and even in some vertical programs. The
same situation applies at the central level.
It is not clear as to who has the final responsibilities for the HRH management function.
The socialization function is inadequately performed and seems to be unfamiliar to most
of the supervisors and their subordinates.
The political environment sometimes makes the allocation of HRH difficult.

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 10


The proposed HRH policy needs legal machinery that can compel and bind decision
makers on the issue of restructuring the Ministry.

3.2.3 HRH Development


The study has revealed that the human resource development effort is facing the following
constraints:

• The undergraduate candidates training programme for Doctors and Pharmacists is


constrained by lack of qualified candidates with proper combinations in science
subjects.
• Funds for sponsoring health personnel for undergraduate and postgraduate programs
are not disbursed as required or regularly.
• The formula for opportunity for post basic training for some cadres doesn't exist.
• The College of Health Sciences has a shortage of full time tutors in some courses and
even full time tutors are inadequately specialized. For example, Diploma holders
teach diploma students of the same discipline.
• There is delay in reviewing the curriculum for College disciplines to cope with the
advancement of Technology taking place globally.
• The College of Health Sciences has no basic academic rules in the form of College
handbook (prospectus).
• The College is lacking modern equipment such as Computer and Internet services;
telefax machine, overhead and slide projectors, and a well-equipped resource centre.
• Inadequate resources for the students at clinical areas lead to improper
implementation of the curriculum in practical sessions.
• The College is not yet registered by National Council for Technical Education
(NACTE).
• Physical infrastructure at the College of Health Sciences is inadequate.

3.2.4 HRH Quality in relation to Performance


General staff performance is sub-standard and is mainly attributed to shortage of materials
and erratic supplies and services. In addition, there is no standard guideline for staffing
levels at all work places. Staff training is on ad-hoc basis, hence leaving the majority of staff
with minimal training opportunities or uncertain as to when they will receive additional
training or retraining within the specialties they serve. Generally, the education level for staff
in most of the departments is low. The majority of the paramedical staffs have attained the
minimum basic qualification for that particular cadre i.e. certificate, with very few having
been awarded a diploma or advanced diploma.

3.2.5 Gender issues


Gender differences explain the current staff disposition in which males dominate most of the
posts in health service provision. There is increased recognition among health care providers
and researchers of the need to consider gender issues in health policy, planning, and practice.
This helps to reduce both health inequalities and to increase the efficiency and effectiveness
of health care services. The aspect of gender is important to health for a number of reasons.
These include:

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 11


• Vulnerability and illness.
• Burden of Diseases
• Health status
• Quality of care.
• Access to promotion
• Prevention and curative measures
The other factors are: health information and research, and priority for funding health
services.

The current situation in the MOH&SW is that the majority of females join the nursing
profession while males join environmental health, medical and other professions. Although
there are no specific gender disaggregated data by profession, the PIS recorded the total
number of workforce in relation to gender as shown in the table below:

MALE FEMALE TOTAL


UNGUJA 1116 1369 2485
PEMBA 594 407 1001
TOTAL 1710 1776 3486

Source MOH&SW- PIS at MOH&SW August 2004.

In the Five year HRH Plan it is proposed to consider gender balance among the professions.
There is a need to recruit more male nurses and more females in other specialties and clinical
graduate courses. These will help to bring about fairness in health care provision in the
system. There should be accurate data records in relation to gender perspective among the
professions and services provision.

3.2.6 HRH Financing


• Gross under-funding of the health service as a whole affects HRH performance.
• Low remuneration for the HRH staff, which is below minimum living standards, has
negative effect on staff performance and retention.

3.3 HRH Challenges


The problems outlined in the Human Resources for Health situation analysis that was conducted
before preparing the HRH policy and this plan pose the following challenges:

• The Zanzibar Health Sector Reform initiative requires decentralization of


management functions to the districts level that will demand a properly balanced
DHMT with the right professional skills and maturity in leadership and management.
The challenge is to develop district health management capacity at an accelerated
pace.
• This also will be applicable to the College of Health Sciences and Mnazi Mmoja
Hospital when they become semi autonomous.
• The prevailing burden of Diseases (BoD) calls for a sustained availability of duly
trained health workers at all levels of care with sufficient working tools, equipment,

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 12


and drugs. Similarly, the emerging diseases and chronic conditions such as HIV/AIDS
call for extra compliment of skills and services to keep the health system running.
• Attrition of qualified health personnel due to competitive market conditions poses the
risk of depriving the people of the badly needed health service, thereby causing
inequity, as the poor may not be guaranteed access.
• Development of HRH to the required skills is needed to comply with the HSR
Requirements. Quality of training and capacity of CHS within a resource constrain
environment is a key challenge.
• HRH Studies and Research need to be conducted to improve HRH performance.
• Establishment of comprehensive HRH Data Base is needed to facilitate accurate
management decisions.
• The urban attraction tendency for some of the PHC cadre and the difficulties
experienced in redeployment attempts affect effective functioning of Mnazi Mmoja
hospital as a tertiary referral facility.

CHAPTER FOUR

HUMAN RESOURCE FOR HEALTH PLAN AIM, OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES

4.0 Aim

The main aim of the plan is to develop the HRH by improving their skills and
management capacity that will ensure provision of quality health services.

4.1 Objectives

The specific objectives of the Plan are:


• To improve the quality of health care by providing the right number of health workers
in the right place, at the right time, with the right skills and motivation,
• To build HRH management capacity at district and higher level institutions/
organization for quality health care provision.
• To provide basic and post basic training program equipping HRH with knowledge,
skills and the right attitude for the implementation of the Health Sector Reform
(HSR).
• To strengthen the mechanism for equitable and proper utilization of the available
HRH.

The plan objectives address the concerns raised in the Situation Analysis. They also
translate some of the statements contained in the HRH policy into implementable
activities without losing sight of the Health Sector Reform requirements.

4.2 Priority areas

The HRH Plan has singled out 8 areas among those addressed in the HRH Policy and
Situation Analysis, and these shall be given special attention during the coming five
years. These areas include:
• HRH Medium Term Plan advocacy and promotion,
• HRH Development
• Retention
• Quality care at all levels
• HRH Data Base
• Capacity Development for the College of Health Sciences
• Mnazi Mmoja as Referral Hospital
• Monitoring and Evaluation

In each priority area, a number of interventions and strategies have been proposed that
will be applied to bring about the intended changes. According to the HSR, the College of
Health Sciences and Mnazi Mmoja Referral Hospital are expected to become semi-
autonomous. To reflect this, these two priority areas have been treated as separate
entities.

CHAPTER FIVE

HUMAN RESOURCE FOR HEALTH PROJECTIONS

5.0 Essential Health Care Package: Services at Each Level

The following health care services are obtained at different levels of health care facilities:
5.0.1 1st Line PHCU

• Outpatient services, which include management of STI, IMCI and other common
diseases and injuries.
• Maternal and child health services, which include growth monitoring,
immunization, antenatal, intra-natal and post-natal services
• Family planning and youth friendly services

work attachment
The Technical Working Group has proposed that this level of facility should have 137
workers mixed in 35 skills.

5.1 Staffing Level

A staffing level guideline will be adjusted based on proposals in this plan and early
government approval shall be sought. The staffing level for the different levels of service
delivery will be reviewed regularly to reflect the prevailing circumstances. The staffing
level guideline will clearly indicate the skill mix required at all levels of health care and
the number of staff required.

The staffing level will consider criteria which are in line with the workload/ WHO
standards and working environment. The staffing level guideline will indicate the
qualification of the in charge or management team of the respective services level.

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 20


5.2 Demand and Supply

Annex 2 shows the staff position of core medical staff by cadre and by level of facility as
at June 2003 based on the Situation Analysis and head count of all staff that were in post
on that date and the staffing level proposals prepared by the Technical Working Group
(Team A, B, C, and D) formed by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare.

The situation analysis has revealed that the skills gap is very wide for the first and second
levels of medical facilities. At the primary health care level, (see Annex II(a)) it is
observed that there are 700 employees in the core medical posts against the required 1128
employees. It is also observed that 428 posts are vacant, which is equivalent to 38 per
cent of the required posts. Although there are staff shortages in some occupations, there is
an excess of 388 employees in occupations like MCHA (147), Health Assistant (75),
Health Orderly (59), General Nurse (30), Nurse/ Midwife (18) and Public Health Nurse A
(7) occupations. Shortages of staff are significant for the Public Health Nurse B (212),
Public Health Assistant (119), Clinical Officer (101), Pharmaceutical Technician (117)
and Community Health Nurse (77) occupations.

At the secondary health care level, (see Annex II(b)), 244 core medical posts have been
filled against the 411 required posts. Some 167 posts are vacant (equivalent to 40 per cent
of the required posts), but there is also an excess of 27 workers. Occupations which have
significant shortages include the Medical Specialist (12), AMO (11), Medical Recorder
(12), Pediatric Nurse (12), PHNA (9), Theatre Nurse (10), Physiotherapist (6) and
Pharmaceutical Technician (6). Surplus workers are in the following occupations:
Laboratory technician (11), Nursing Officer (11), Radiographer (4), and Ophthalmic
Nurse (1).
A more elaborate disposition of surplus staff and staff shortage from First line PHCUs to
District Hospitals for Unguja and Pemba is shown in Annex IV(a) – IV(d).

At the tertiary health care level, Annex II(c) shows that there are 494 core medical
workers against the required 566; 72 posts are vacant (equivalent to 13 per cent) and
there is an excess of 158 workers. Significant shortages of staff are in the following
occupations: Medical Officer (18), Medical Specialist (5), Assistant Medical Officer (5),
Laboratory Technologist (9), Nursing Officer (32), Nurse A (7), Nurse/Midwife (13),
Ophthalmic Nurse (8), Orthopaedic Nurse (12) and Pharmaceutical Technician (13).
Excess staffs have been observed in the following occupations: Hospital Orderly (56),
Laboratory Technician (16), Laboratory Assistant 16), Clinical Officer (14),
Pharmaceutical auxiliary 21) etc.

The staffing position for the Government Central Laboratory, the College of Health
Sciences and the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare is shown in Annex II(d) – (f). At
the Government Central Laboratory, 30 posts, equivalent to 75 per cent of the required
core medical posts are vacant. Similarly, 34 posts or 67 per cent of the required core

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 21


academic posts at the College of Health Sciences are vacant while in the Ministry of
Health and Social Welfare, 87 posts representing 87 per cent of the required posts are
vacant.
In addition to the vacancies shown above, there are 39 posts that are held by non-citizens
in both Unguja and Pemba on contract terms (See Annex VII). These posts constitute an
additional HRH requirement because they will have to be filled by citizens when the
contracts of the non-citizens expire. There will also be gaps that will be caused by
wastage through transfers-out, retirements and deaths. Furthermore, there may be
expansion programmes of the medical facilities during the plan period that will require
additional medical staff.

In this plan, no estimate has been made for the additional staff requirement due to
expansion and wastage because data was not available. As such, this plan is basically
concerned with filling the gaps that were determined by the staffing level proposals
prepared in 2003 and the gaps that will be come when the contracts of non citizens
expire. Although the plan has confined itself to the public sector, the government will
create conducive environment for the private sector to participate fully in the provision of
health care and in the training of health personnel.

5.3 Gap filling Strategies

The projection of manpower supply to fill the identified gaps is based on the traditional
estimation of annual output from the College of Health Sciences that caters for primary
health care facilities. Annex 4 shows that from 2004/5 to 2008/9, annual output from the
College will range between 73 and 81, making a total supply of 400 graduates by 2009.
This output will not be enough to fill the skill gaps shown in Annex II(a) and II2(b).

In order to meet the great HRH demand, students from Zanzibar will be enrolled at
Medical Schools in Tanzania mainland for undergraduate and post-graduate courses.
Tanzania mainland has several health schools and Universities that offer medical courses,
while Zanzibar has only one Health School (College of Health Sciences) that offers pre-
service and in-service courses in the following disciplines:
• Diploma in General Nursing with Midwifery/Psychiatry (DGNM/DGNP),
• Diploma in Environmental Health Sciences (DEHS),
• Diploma in Clinical Medicine (DCM),
• Diploma in Community Health Nursing (DCHN),
• Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology (DMLT), and
• Certificate in Public Health Nursing “B” (CPHN “B”)
The College is in the initial stages of introducing other courses like Diploma for
Pharmaceutical Technicians, Diploma for Dental Therapists and Diploma for Nurse
Anesthetists.

For scholarships, candidates directly apply through the Ministry of Education, Culture
and Sports in Zanzibar and the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education in
Dar es Salaam for training and funding fellowships. Zanzibar graduates from institutions

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 22


of higher learning in the medical field from Tanzania Mainland and abroad come to fill
the skill gaps in the secondary and tertiary levels of health care. Since the training of
medical personnel for the secondary and tertiary level takes a longer gestation period, it
may be necessary to recruit non-citizens to fill the current gaps while the local staffs are
being trained.
Annex V gives a detailed description of the immediate and intermediate gap filling plan
and the criteria that has been used to determine the gaps to be filled.

5.4 Dealing with the Surplus Staff

The Situation Analysis Study has revealed that there is improper balance, distribution and
utilization of HRH at all levels of health care delivery, both in the rural and urban areas.
To address this problem, a coordinated mechanism to re-deploy excess personnel in the
identified areas to the understaffed health delivery points has been suggested, basing on
the manning level proposals that were prepared by Team A, B, C and D. The details of the
redeployment proposals are shown in Annex VI.

5.5 Establishment of HRH Data Base for HRH Projections

The MOHSW has established a comprehensive HRH Unit to ensure proper utilization of
up to-date information in planning and management. However, experience shows that
there is need to strengthen the existing unit to ensure proper data collection, processing,
analysis, interpretation and utilization. The HRH database will be regularly updated to
determine demand and supply and turnover of HRH. Districts, Zones, Programs and
departments/institutions shall provide quarterly and annual HRH reports to HRH
information unit to update the HRH Data Base, and in that way facilitate planning.

There will also be a need to solicit user-friendly software for forecasting HRH demand,
supply, attrition and productivity. Websites like www.workforce-logistics.com can be
contacted to solicit such software.

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 23


CHAPTER SIX

HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT

6.0 Quality of Training

The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW) and the National Council for
Technical Education (NACTE) control quality at middle level technical training
institutions. These organizations set conditions for establishing learning institutions in
terms of quality and adequacy of physical infrastructure, teaching and learning materials,
equipment quality and quality of teachers, students entry qualifications, standard of
examinations and marking procedures, including curriculum for the programmes that are
offered. The other areas that are considered include courses duration and grading of
students awards.

The quality of training in the College of Health Sciences as indicated in the ZHSR has
not yet fully been met due to teaching methods, transport problems, inadequate resources
such as lack of equipment during practical sessions in hospitals or other teaching
premises. What students learn and experience in those areas does not relate with what
they are taught in the class.

The quality of examination is assured through the use of internal and external examiners
whose assessment is considered in the evaluation of students. The whole process of
marking and grading the candidates is done by examiners and then approved by the
council through the academic board of CHS.

6.1 Student selection

Selection of students is conducted by evaluation of the applicant’s basic qualification


against the entry requirements set by the College’s Academic Board. Students have to
pass the oral matriculation interview to verify their academic capabilities. In order to
undertake the programmes, the College Council approves applicants.

6.2 College accreditation

The College of Health Sciences is recognized by the MOHSW. The Ministry through
College Councils and professional bodies approves all curricula and examinations done.
The college is I the initial process of registration by NACTE. Some of the conditions to
be fulfilled for accreditation include: -
• To ensure that there are enough tutors and supporting staff with good
qualifications.
• To ensure there are adequate teaching materials and teaching aids.

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 24


• Availability of regular transport.
• Ownership of Physical infrastructures.
• Availability of Internet and other communication sources.
A training board for vetting and certification of all paramedical/allied health science
courses shall be established. For future academic development and scholarship, the
recognition of CHS by the Department of Higher Education shall be vital.

6.3 Career Development

This is an organized and planned effort to align individual and organization goals. The
individual has motivational needs, wants good pay and job security. For the organization,
career development is one of the means of solving certain HRH problems like high labour
turn over.
In this plan a career structure of the core medical cadres for PHCU, PHCC and district
hospital has been suggested, (see Annex VIII). It shows the career ladder from the time of
recruitment of a worker to the time of his/her retirement.

6.4 Pay and Rewards

The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare instituted an incentive package to its
employees. It provides the consolidated health allowance, which is paid at the rate of
30% of the salary, and professional allowances ranging from Tshs 5,000/= – 9,000/= for
Certificate and Diploma holders, 15,000 and 100,000 for Advanced Diploma and Degree
holders respectively. However, the basic salaries remain low in comparison with Tanzania
Mainland and neighboring countries.

The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare shall review the existing salary scales for all
health professions so that workers are remunerated appropriately. Incentive packages
such as:
• Professional allowance,
• House allowance,
• Leave allowances,
• Promotion, and
• Retirement benefits.
• Transport allowance
• Annual increment
should also be reviewed with the intention of improving performance.

6.5 Training Plan

The Situation Analysis Study revealed that staff training in the health sector is on ad hoc
basis and it leaves the majority of staff with minimal training opportunities. To address
this problem, a Five Year Training Plan has been developed for PHCU, PHCC, District
Hospitals, DHMTs, ZHMTs, Mnazi Mnazi Mmoja Referral and the College of Health
Sciences. The Plan has two types of Programmes, one is for short courses and the other is

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 25


for long courses (Annex I). However, before implementing the Plan there will be a need
to conduct a thorough training needs assessment because the needs may have changed.

6.6 Continuing Education

The MoHSW established the Continuing Education Programme in 1991 “to improve
educational opportunities for health workers in order to improve health care services
they provide and contribute to personal and professional growth. . .”

The present CE activities do not reach the majority of health workers of whom over 60%
are fluent in Kiswahili only, less that 50% have Form IV qualifications and 100% have
not been oriented or received training for present job responsibilities. Establishing new
approaches and programmes for self-learning, upgrading and performance evaluation are
a major focus of the MoHSW’s reform process for the Continuing Education Unit and
Human Resource Department to meet these challenges.

The main aim of the reformed CE programme is to enable the motivated health workers
to access programmes and information that can improve health care service and
performance and can create opportunities for upgrading professional roles or status.

Achieving this aim will be done in stages over a period of 3-5 years through developing
MoHSW human resource and training priorities, strengthening CEU in distance
education, establishing a learning materials production unit under the CEU and
expanding resource center educational facilities.

CHAPTER SEVEN

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

7.0 Deployment and Redeployment

The management of HRH in Zanzibar shall ensure that effective and efficient human
resource utilization targeting quality care provision is institutionalized. The situation
analysis revealed that performance of the human resources management and development
system is inadequate. The study also found a very heavy hierarchical system that
antagonizes effective utilization. To rectify this, clearly defined job descriptions and a
guideline on appraisal systems for delivery of quality service will be put in place.

7.1 Proper Utilization

Clear job descriptions and guidelines shall be developed for each cadre in order to
achieve quality health care and to ensure availability of the right number of human
resource with the right skills at the right place. Schemes of Services shall be prepared for
cadres that do not have by adapting the schemes used by the health sector Tanzania
Mainland to suit the prevailing situation in Zanzibar.
The HRH Division shall be responsible for analyzing inter-institutional balance and
equity of staff distribution. The Division shall also take measures to adjust imbalances
and mal-distribution by implementing the deployment and redeployment proposals
prepared by Teams A, B, C and D. (See Annex VI).

7.2 Performance Appraisal

The current performance appraisal system is not objective and task oriented. The Human
Resource Division in liaison with all Directorates and the Civil Service Department shall
put in place proper performance appraisal guidelines that are geared to productivity. The
performance appraisal shall be transparent so that employees become motivated to
measure their own achievement and satisfaction on the job.

7.3 Focal Person

In order to be successfully managed, there will be a responsible focal person (Health


Secretary) at every level (Central, Zonal, Hospital, District) to monitor and implement
HRH activities. The focal persons will be given special training in phases on how to
manage HRH issues.

7.4 Motivation

At the moment, staff motivation is not based on productivity. Future plans for improving
health staff motivation will include the following:

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 27


• Consolidation of salary and allowances to raise employees’ basic salary. This will
have a positive effect when calculating the terminal benefits.
• Identification of training needs and designing a sound training program. This will
ensure that the prioritized needs are met and are resulting from objective
performance appraisal.
• Putting in place a system of reward and promotion based on competence and
performance rather than seniority and other non-job criteria. This will motivate
people to work hard and diligently. It will also enhance employees’ morale and
commitment as there will be a clear link or relationship between the reward or
promotion and competence or performance.
• Establishment of special and attractive responsibility allowance to be paid to all
people who are given responsibility of manning key positions and difficult
stations.
• Tying promotion and training opportunities to the period of service in ‘difficult’
(remote) stations.
• Creating an advantageous proportionate salary package that assures meeting basic
needs the more peripheral (remote) one gets from the center.
• Putting in place a participatory decision-making that creates a sense of belonging.
• Introducing a system of recognition of employees’ outstanding performance,
whether individual or group innovations or contribution to the success of any
initiatives. This creates a sense of one’s discrete effort being valued.
• Introducing career development by cadre whereby each worker knows his/her
career ladder from the time he/she is recruited until retirement. The career
development for various cadres is shown in Annex VIII.

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 28


CHAPTER EIGHT

HRH FINANCING

8.0 Budget for implementing the Medium Term Plan

The proposed budget for implementing the Medium Term Plan is as a follows:
• Activities for priority Area 1……………………………US $ 33,500
• Activities for priority Area 2……………………………US $ 4,653,720
• Activities for priority Area 3……………………………US $ 40,000
• Activities for priority Area 4……………………………US $ 75,000
• Activities for priority Area 5……………………………US $ 70,000
• Activities for priority Area 6……………………………US $ 878,000
• Activities for priority Area 7……………………………US $ 653,000
• Activities for priority Area 8……………………………US $ 35,000
Total …………………………………………………US $ 6,438,220
The detailed budget for all the priority areas is presented in Annex I.

8.1 Source of financing

The proposed budget for implementing the plan is beyond government allocation to the
health sector. The government allocation to the health sector on an annual basis has been
ranging from sh 2,957.9 million or 5.8% of total government expenditure (1999/2000) to
sh 2,581.3 million or 8% (1997/98) while the HRH plan requires an average sum of sh
1.3 billion per annum. The current Health sector budget will therefore not be enough to
meet the total financing requirement of this plan.

In order to enhance the government’s ownership and leadership of the plan, the
government will allocate 10 percent of the HRH financing requirement annually. The
remaining financing requirement will be met through private sources by individuals
contributing to fees for their training and upgrading programmes in the local training
institutions. The government will also welcome other actors, including the private sector,
the donor community and other development partners to finance HRH.

8.2 Sustainability

Human resources development is a costly exercise. To ensure that financing of the Plan is
sustainable, the following shall be done:
• Cost-sharing activities shall be expanded and strengthened to assist in the training;
• HRH Plan shall be implemented according to the budget;
• Staff Retention Scheme shall be implemented. This will involve taking a holistic view
of reducing staff turnover by introducing a variety of initiatives to improve internal
career opportunities, supporting work-life balance and creating an attractive and
interesting working environment.

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 29


CHAPTER NINE

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

9.0 Why Monitoring and Evaluation

Monitoring and evaluation constitute the hub for governing and ensuring efficient and
effective implementation of a unified HRH Plan. It is the systematic observation and
recording of specific targets, strategies, measures, lines of actions and immediate outputs.
It is dynamic, and hence needs to be continuous. It is linked with implementation and the
data and information generated is used continuously to make adjustments to the
implementation processes.

The purpose of HRH - ME is to ensure that there is an effective HRH policy translation
and institutionalisation in all sub-sectors within the Health sector. In addition, a sound
ME will be responsive to HRH demand and supply, development and management.
Monitoring and Evaluation of HRH is also intended to assist in assessing the HRH plan
contribution to improving the quality of delivered services. Furthermore, the ME will
provide vital information that will be used to track HRH accountability and its equitable
distribution as determined by the manning level.

Based on the above, the MOHSW will develop standardised ME tools. An integrated
form of ME for Activity Reporting System for HRH interventions [with indicators and
data sources] will also be institutionalised. This plan contains output indicators and
process indicators. A rolling HRH Annual Plan will be drawn from the HRH Medium
Term Plan, and this will be fed into the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF).
The plan will be evaluated annually. However, at national level, mid-plan and end of plan
implementation evaluation will be conducted to assess outcome indicators.

9.1 Coordination of HRH activity

Given the fact that HRH activities are conducted at various levels and in different
sections within the health sector, intra-departmental coordination for HRH activities will
be vital. The internal coordination mechanism will have the following features:
a. MOHSW Technical Committee meetings quarterly and annually.
b. Consultative stakeholders meeting that involve various sectors both public and non-
public.
c. A technical platform between various stakeholders for information sharing.

In order to ensure smooth institutional performance, there is need to appoint sectoral HRH
focal persons who shall ensure that HRH issues receive appropriate attention. This will also
facilitate institutional memory and provide secretarial services to HRH activities that will
take place in each department. The focal person shall:

a. Promote networking, linkages and partnerships with other players in areas relating to
HRH,

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 30


b. Engage in resource mobilization activities for HRH in the institution,
c. Document HRH issues within the sector/sub-sector, and
d. Monitor the function of PIS and HRH management, namely: allocation, performance
appraisal and HRH financing.

9.2 Research

Research is one of the tools that are used to provide additional information on HRH
issues. Effective identification of HRH research priority areas and utilisation of research
findings will strengthen the ME and will contribute to HRH development. Research on
HRH will enable the system to identify gaps and deviation or misinterpretation of HRH
policy, documenting best practices and innovative intervention, retention and motivation,
to mention just a few. Furthermore, HRH research will assist in mapping up HRH factors
that contribute to the quality of delivered services.

The department of planning in collaboration with various research institutions [local and
international] shall ensure that researches that address functions and system performance
are promoted and institutionalized.

CHAPTER TEN

ASSUMPTIONS AND RISKS

10.0 Assumptions

The success and failure of the implementation of the Human Resource for Health
depends on the assumptions and risks on which the plan is based. The assumptions
provide the strength on which the plan is built while the risks are the threats, which the
plan tries to mitigate in order to minimize and overcome. This plan is expected to be
successfully implemented because of the existing assumptions within the Human
resource for Health area in Zanzibar.

10.0.1. Existence of Training facilities

Zanzibar has one College for Health Sciences, which trains six categories of health
disciplines. Moreover, training institutions in Tanzania Mainland provide more
opportunities for the training of all cadres that are required to fill the most important
posts in the Health system.

10.0.2 Availability of staff

All health facilities are staffed with personnel, some who can be upgraded through
training. The proposal for upgrading staff will therefore not face any problems to find
appropriated staff.

10.0.3 Recruitment, transfer and retrenchment procedures

In a process of right sizing the workforce, the implementation of the plan will be using
the existing procedures for recruitment and reattachment. The plan will only need to
support the procedures in order to expedite and make them more effective. More over the
existing process of transferring staff will be used to shift staff from areas with surplus to
those with deficits.

10.0.4 Support from Senior Management, Development partners and politicians

Their expectation is that improvement in Human Resource for Health management will
lead to improvements in health services performance as such they are determined to see
that developments is taking place in the area of Human Resource for Health. Work that
has been supported by ADB and WHO in this area is one of the evidences of
development partners’ interest.

10.0.5 Strengthening of the Department of Policy and Planning

Creation of a Human Resource for health Division through strengthening the Department
of Policy and Planning in MOHSW not only calls for shift action but requisite

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 32


competencies have to be in place within this organ. In particular, programme
management competency shall be vital to ensure the plan components are fully
operationalised.

10.1 Risks

Although there is optimism in the success of the plan, there are also some risks that need
to be addressed as the plan is being implemented. These include:

10.1.1 Constrained resource base of the Government

Government allocation to the health sector is not adequate to finance the plan. The plan
shall rely on the support of other financiers. The Advocacy and promotion element of the
plan needs to play a vital role in this area.

10.1.2 Political environment

Involvement of development partners has very often depended on the political


environment, which has varied frequently after the 1995 general elections. The support
from the development partners will depend on the continuation and consolidation of the
current political consensus.

10.1.3 Competitive Labour market

Differences in the remuneration and benefit package to health professionals in Zanzibar


vis a vis their colleagues in Tanzania Mainland may retard the pace of professionalisation
of Zanzibar health services. It is assumed that government shall put policy measures in
place to establish an adequate motivation package to address attraction, equitable
deployment and retention of health workers.

10.1.4 Slow progress in the implementation of Public Sector Reforms

Decentralisation may facilitate improvement in management of Human resource because


the workforce will be managed at the district level. Since this process is going slowly, it
is threatening the speed of implementation of the plan. The Ministry of Health will
collaborate with the Public Service Department to accelerate the on-going public sector
reforms.

CRITERIA USED TO DETERMINE IMMEDIATE AND INTERMEDIATE HRH GAPS TO BE FILLED

• Situational analysis report and data, which indicated that there is extreme shortage of staff in some health facilities while in other facilities
there is overstaffing.

• Field report: Team C visited the following health facilities i.e. Gamba, Kivunge, Sebleni, Mahonda, Chumbuni and Mwembeladu to assess
the actual staff available and the workload. The report obtained reveals that in some facilities there is a shortage of staff in relation to the
workload.

• Equity Principle: Health is a basic need to a human being. Due to this fact, every community should enjoy equity in the distribution of
health services including other resources like human resource, drugs and supplies

• The concept of quality care provision as the major objective of the Health Sector Reforms: Quality health care cannot be achieved without
having the right number of human resource with right skills at the right place, time and at affordable cost.

• Basic and essential health care package at each level requires a well-organized team with all the necessary skill mix.

• The staff inventory, when compared with the prepared staffing level for primary and secondary levels indicates deficit and surplus to all
PHCU, PHCC and District Hospital.

ANNEX XII

JUSTIFICATION FOR A REORGANISED MINISTRY OF HEALTH

Introduction

The roles of each directorate which justify the posts and optimum number of personnel needed to perform for better results are
mentioned hereunder:

The role of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare has been rationalized by determining the core functions which are promotive,
curative, preventive and Human Resource Development. These functions are considered to be the basis for having four directorates in
the Ministry. Each directorate has specific roles and responsibilities that contribute to the achievement of the Ministry’s goal.

Directorate of PFA

A critical core department responsible for the coordination of health activities across the Ministry, designing and formulating sound
health policies, programs and plans that direct the functioning of the Ministry for the efficient and effective delivery of quality health
services. Its roles include among others:

o Budgeting and soliciting funds from the public and development partners as well as ensuring proper use of the funds.
o Designing and coordinating policy and programme implementation.
o Ensuring the availability, development and effective utilization of quality and well balanced HR across the health system
o Maintaining and providing updated and accurate health information and HR information to facilitate timeliness of decision
making.
o Ensuring the availability of adequate physical infrastructure, furniture, equipment, materials and transport for the smooth
running health services.
o Cooperating with regional and international stakeholders in the health sector for the purpose of sharing and transferring
knowledge and experience.
o Ensuring availability of necessary material resources needed for rendering of services

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 3


These broad roles define the tasks and the type of HR required for the department. The department is structured into divisions and
sections to specify tasks and skills required to perform outlined those tasks. Both the workload and marginal productivity of labour
were considered to determine the number of posts and employees needed for each section.

Department of Social Welfare and drugs abuse

This department deals with the promotion of social development of the vulnerable sections of our society including orphans, disabled,
the aged people and drug addicts and children who are living under difficult circumstances. Its main roles include:

o Caring for the aged people, orphans and children living under difficult conditions.
o Ensuring availability of facilities, equipments and materials for caring of these groups.
o Compensating those employees who have sustained injuries or deaths at work places or during the course of work.
o Counseling and rehabilitating addicts and sensitizing the communities from dangers of using illicit drugs, thus reducing the
drug related harm and the number of persons involved in drug abuse.
o Liaising with other sections and NGOs concerned or interested in taking care of the disadvantaged and vulnerable groups

Directorate of Health Services

This directorate assumes the core activities of the Ministry, i.e preventive, promotive and curative services in a more integrated
approach.

Its main role is to coordinate the activities of the two zonal Health Management Teams – that is coordination of both curative and
preventive services rendered by the two zones – Pemba and Unguja Health Management Teams, together with the health facilities at
primary and secondary levels so as to ensure integrity of the entire health system. Major diseases prevention programmes shall be
coordinated with an emphasis towards integration under this directorate.

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 4


Government Chemist

This Office provides laboratory services to almost all sectors of our community. It carries out technical and scientific laboratory tests
for foods, chemicals, dangerous drugs and verifies their quality for human consumption and provides advice for the necessary policy
and legal actions to be taken.

Semi Autonomous Institutions

In the process of implementing HSR through decentralization, the Ministry has initially selected three (3) organisations that will
operate as semi autonomous institutions. These include Mnazi Mmoja Referral Hospital, the College of Health Sciences and the
Central Medical Stores. They will have their own Directors and communication with the Ministry will be done through the Principal
Secretary as shown in new proposed organogram.

ANNEX XIII

CONSULTANT’S ASSESSMENT REPORT

The terms of reference required the consultant to study the work that had already been undertaken in the areas of planning and training
and development programme/Strategies and to assess the extent of their accomplishment. The consultant’s observations are as follows:

PLANNING

Task Groups A, B, C and D that had been formed by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare early in 2003 to prepare the Situation
Analysis had done a commendable job of taking stock of the existing HRH as at June 2003 by occupation, level of education and level
of facility. They had gone further to prepare the staffing level for the different levels of health facilities for the core medical staff and
peripheral staff using the health needs, service targets and human resource/population ratio approaches. Through this exercise it was
found that there was a significant deficit of staff in some occupations and a surplus in some others. The teams worked out a
redeployment proposal for the surplus staff and suggested ways of filling the identified gaps. The proposal for redeployment of excess
staff whose skills were still needed was to reallocate to facilities that had shortages of such skills and for those whose skills were no
longer needed, the recommendation was to retrench them. As for filling the gaps, the suggestion was to make new recruitments or
upgrade the existing staff through training.

While much was done to develop the staffing level, more needs to be done to refine the staffing level criteria, especially for specialised
occupations at the secondary and tertiary levels of health facilities and for the College of Heath Sciences. The staffing level proposals
could have been used to project the HRH additional requirements for the coming five years of the plan if information on the
anticipated health facility expansion, staff attrition rates and the current number of non-citizens working on contract terms was
available. Due to the shortage of this information, the plan has focused on filling the existing HRH gaps. Separate studies need to be
conducted to come up with the missing information, if not for the current plan then for the subsequent plans so that forecasts on
additional HRH requirements are made.

The proposals on the redeployment of excess staff through reallocation and retrenchment have financial implications. So far, no
estimates have been made to determine how much the exercise will cost financially. If the proposals will be implemented, there will be
a need to work out the cost.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME/STRATEGIES

HRH 5-Year Plan – Ministry of Health & Social Welfare Zanzibar 6


In this area, each Work Group managed to prepare short and long term training plans for the relevant levels of health facility basing on
the Situation Analysis findings. Full time institutionalised training was the dominant approach that was suggested. Socialisation or
orientation programmes were proposed for those who will be newly recruited. Task Group C pointed out that staffs that do not have
the required qualifications were holding some posts. A training programme was proposed for them to upgrade their skills. In order to
retain those who are already in service, interventions have been proposed to have a career development plan, to create conducive
working environment and to develop a system of job satisfaction.

Before embarking on the proposed training plans, it will be necessary to carry out a thorough training needs assessment and to revisit
the cost of training because it appears that the cost of some programmes have been overestimated and some have been underestimated.

Succession planning is very important for organisations. But it can only be implemented if organisations have information about the
age structure of their work force, academic qualification and length of service. It will be necessary to create a data base of this
information and update it from time to time so that it can be used to introduce succession planning.
