Abstract

The study examined the Performance of Tertiary
health care institutions in South East Nigeria, the
place of human resource planning and
development. Date collected were analysed
using mean score. The z-normal distribution (ztest)

was applied in testing the hypotheses. The
findings revealed that Human resource planning
does not have a significant effect on medical
equipment utilisation in tertiary health care
institutions in South East, Nigeria and that
human resource planning has a significant effect
on human capacity building in tertiary health
care institutions in South East, Nigeria. The
study concluded that human resource planning
helps to ensure theavailability of qualified and
varied personnel by proactively managing their
workforce, optimising staff deployment, and
cultivating a culture of continuous learning and
professional development.The study
recommended among others that for continuous
medical equipment utilization, the management
of tertiary healthcare institutions should
enhance medical equipment utilization by
aligning human resource planning with
equipment maintenance, operation, and training
needs, ensuring the availability of skilled
personnel and resources to maximize equipment
functionality and improve patient care outcomes.
