Imbalances in the distribution of human resources, including shortages and surpluses, can significantly affect the quality of patient care. This study aimed to investigate the situation of human resources in hospitals. The findings from the hospitals examined indicate that many institutions are experiencing shortages and poor distribution of medical staff, especially in nursing, medical, support, administrative, and financial departments. No significant deficiencies were observed in para-clinical and para-medical areas. Effective management and strategic planning to address personnel shortages and align them with standard levels can increase hospital efficiency and overall performance. In hospitals where bed capacity is underutilized and average occupancy is low, management tends to employ fewer human resources, often with poor allocation, leading to inefficiencies. As a result, many hospital facilities and investments remain underused, representing a lost opportunity.
