Human Resources for Health Development in Low-and Middle-Income Countries

Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in international commitment to health in low and middle income countries and the momentum derived from the MDGs has, in turn, helped generate an expansion of resources for the health sector. Within this context, the availability and performance of human resources for health (HRH) have emerged as key factors. Various alliances are dedicating their efforts regarding HRH improvements such as the Global Health Workforce Alliance (GHWA), a partnership dedicated to identifying and implementing solutions to the health workforce crisis.
