Information gaps

Management and utilization of existing HRH

- Recruitment and retention strategies

- Work conditions; training and employment characteristics, and performance

- Migration and attrition

- Scope of practice (underutilized or over-utilized)

HRH planning

- Absence of reliable HRH data (supply and needs-based)

- No data numbers, gaps, losses, demographics, categories (types and skill-mix), and distribution of HRH

- More comprehensive data on other categories of health workers
