Hex summer09

“Serious problems in the health workforce exist in many countries: staff shortages, low retention and poor environments in which to work. Migration of staff to urban areas or other countries in the world is happening on a critical scale. This is a truly global crisis,” says Mubashar Sheikh, Executive Director of the Global Health Workforce Alliance, in his article in the new issue of Health Exchange. http://healthexchangenews.com

This issue of Health Exchange is about the challenges confronting our health workforce and the innovative ways in which we are trying to improve the situation.

Articles are from around the world including Indonesia, Ghana, Liberia, and the Americas. They cover issues such as migration, staff shortages, training, job preferences, and providing much-needed support to health workers.
