Abstract
An analysis of the staffing of public health organizations in federal districts of the Russian Federation, in the constituent entities of the North-Western Federal District of the Russian Federation with calculation of indicators and their growth/ decline rates for the period of implementation of the federal project ‘Provision of qualified personnel to health care organizations’ (2018- 2023), as well as social support measures for health workers was carried out. The rate of provision by doctors in general in the Russian Federation and in most federal districts showed a positive trend, the opposite trend was recorded for the provision of nursing staff. The North-Western Federal District has the highest rate of doctors, but there are important regional differences in the rates of doctors and nursing staff (with medical education), which indicates the lack of effective engagement and retention of medical personnel. To improve the effectiveness of the personnel policy a clear differentiation of measures taken at the level of the medical organization in the specific municipality is required as well as there is need for normative and legal regulation of the powers of local governments to create favourable conditions for attracting medical workers, economic incentives for medical workers, increasing the targeting and filling of social support measures in rural health care, in hard-to-reach, remote areas with a low density.
