Forthcoming special issue: "Towards a scaling-up of training and education for health workers"
The WHO and Human Resources for Health are leading an international, joint special issue with 17 other journals, entitled, "Towards a scaling-up of training and education for health workers".
There is currently a global shortage of health workers, which in turn is impacting on the effective operation of health systems, and interfering with efforts to achieve international development goals. The health workforce crisis in developing countries derives both from inadequate educational opportunities, and a lack of relevance of training to community health care practice. The special issue aims to address the critical need for a skilled, sustainable health workforce in the developing world.
