Health care workforce policy

Health care workforce policy involves planning and regulation to ensure there are enough trained health care professionals, like doctors, nurses, and technicians, to meet the population's needs. It addresses issues such as education, training, licensing, and distribution of workers across regions and specialties. The goal is to improve access, quality, and efficiency in health care delivery, while adapting to changing healthcare demands and advancements. Effective policies help prevent shortages, reduce disparities, and ensure a capable, well-supported health care workforce that can provide safe and timely care.
