Belgium has developed a comprehensive system for the monitoring of human resources for health. Data is provided through three complementary sources of information, which cover all health and medical professions, all sectors (independent and employed personnel) and multiple data indicators (age, gender, professional status, professional specialty, inflows, outflows). Data collection and reporting is centralized at the federal level, ensuring the comparability of data. Moreover, the Ministry of Health has developed a sophisticated and comprehensive database where data from FPS are made accessible to all institutions involved in health workforce planning.
