The hospital industry is one of the world's largest and fastest-growing industries which has sought out to regulate and give a complete overhaul of the way medical patients around the world have been treated and this is causing a global change in the way the hospitals are functioning. Hospital Industry being one of those industries that are consuming over a quarter of gross domestic product of most developed nations, health care can now form an enormous part of a country's economy.
 
The healthcare sector consists of companies that provide medical services, manufacture medical equipment or drugs, provide medical insurance, or otherwise facilitate the provision of healthcare to patients. Manpower planning in general is big issue that a lot of institutions have to go through and the hospitals are not a special case in which the manpower planning aspect can be underlooked upon as the major functionality of a hospital is based off the amount of manpower it holds.
 
Planning and organising aspects within a hospital regarding the constituency of employees and regular staff is all in all an important aspect and can very well be considered the most important part of the functionality of an organisation. Manpower Planning is the primary function of the hospital human resource manager but before the stats filling individual jobs, he should consider the overall management problem of making the best use of available human resources. Manpower planning call for the integration of information, formulation of policies and forecasting of future requirements of human resources so that the right personnel are available for the right job at the right time.
 
In manpower planning the basic question of objectives organization structure and age structure of personnel have to be considered. The importance of recruiting individuals who are able to work within the hospital based on the skill set requirement is very essential and sometime a newly built hospital is unable to follow up with the resource requirement in terms of hospital employees and scarcity of other resources.
 
Sometimes these newly built hospitals look forward to making contracts of assigning this particular task to a dedicated recruitment agency so that this impending task of preferred recruitment by the hospital is overtaken or outsourced by an organisation that has expertise within that particular topic. Just because it's a new hospital it wouldn’t mean that the hospital is going to receive instant recruitment over the span of a day this can be resolved by giving this task to a particular recruitment agency before the completion of the hospital building so that on the day the hotel is opened for hospitality it can be the most efficient by having trained staff and individuals who are already aware of the way the hospital functions or is required to function by also training them prior their work day. This also helps in making these individuals aware of the rules and regulations as well as the norms to be followed within the hospital.
