Improving health services changes lives and transforms communities. The key element in the delivery of these services is an effective, productive workforce. However, in spite of significant reforms in recent years, health systems still face serious human resources challenges.
Up to 80% of ongoing operational costs in health systems are staff and employment related. Providing sustainable health systems that deliver effective services to the communities they serve depends on health human resources (HHR) planning.
The work we do at the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre on Health Workforce Planning and Research is focused on building local and global capacity to support needs-based planning of human resources for health, with an emphasis on primary health care.
We’d like to share information with you about the work we’re doing, and the impact it can have on the health of families, communities and countries.
