Human Resources for Health

In May 2016 the “Global Strategy on Human Resources for Health: Workforce 2030” (the “Global Strategy”) was adopted by the 69^th World Health Assembly. The Global Strategy identified a projected shortfall of 18 million health workers by 2030, primarily in low- and middle-income countries. In response, we are calling for submissions to our new thematic series Global Strategy on Human Resources for Health: Workforce 2030 – A Five-Year Check-In. This will bring together new evidence and insights demonstrating measurable results toward universal health coverage through HRH policies and investments. This article collection provides a five-year check-in.

Please read the full aims and scope of the collection here and submit manuscripts for consideration by 30 December 2021.

Well-functioning regulatory mechanisms, such registration, licensing and certification bodies, and accreditation processes can strengthen the quality and performance of the health workforce, especially in a context of increasing international mobility of health workers. In response to this, we are delighted to publish a thematic series on Health workforce: Accreditation of education and regulation of practice.
