Abstract Human Resource Management (HRM) in public healthcare systems plays a crucial role in ensuring the delivery of quality services, staff productivity, and operational efficiency. In Bihar, government hospitals face significant HRM challenges, including staff shortages, absenteeism, low motivation, and limited leadership capacity, which collectively undermine patient care and service quality. This study examines the major HRM challenges in government hospitals of Bhojpur District and evaluates the effectiveness of existing HR policies and administrative practices. Using a case study approach supplemented by secondary data from government reports, academic studies, and health system assessments, it identifies systemic bottlenecks in workforce planning, skill development, and retention. The research further examines leadership roles in HR decision-making and proposes strategic reforms to enhance human resource practices in the Bihar public healthcare sector. Findings underscore the need for policy innovation, capacity building, enhanced accountability frameworks, and performance-oriented HR interventions to improve service outcomes. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of how targeted HRM reforms can support sustainable healthcare delivery in resource-constrained settings.
