Health Workforce Strategic Plan

A Health Workforce Strategic Plan is a organized approach to ensuring a country or region has enough qualified health professionals—like doctors, nurses, and other caregivers—to meet current and future healthcare needs. It identifies gaps, sets priorities, and develops strategies for training, recruiting, and retaining staff. The goal is to improve access to quality healthcare for everyone, support a sustainable health system, and adapt to changes such as population growth or emerging health issues. Essentially, it’s a roadmap to build and maintain a strong, effective health workforce that can deliver essential health services.
