Global Health Workforce

The global health workforce includes all health-related personnel, such as doctors, nurses, midwives, pharmacists, and community health workers, involved in delivering health services worldwide. They are essential for preventing, diagnosing, treating illnesses, and promoting well-being across communities. A well-trained, adequately distributed workforce is crucial to achieving effective healthcare, especially in underserved and crisis-affected areas. Challenges include shortages, uneven distribution, and the need for ongoing training. Strengthening the health workforce ensures that everyone has access to quality care, which is vital for improving global health outcomes and building resilient health systems.
