The Lancet Commission on Health Professionals for a New Century

The Lancet Commission on Health Professionals for a New Century is a global review that examines how health workers—like doctors, nurses, and community health workers—can be better prepared to meet future health challenges. It highlights the importance of education, teamwork, and fair working conditions to improve healthcare quality and access worldwide. The report recommends reforms in training and policy to ensure health professionals can provide effective, equitable, and resilient care, especially in the face of emerging diseases and changing populations. Its goal is to guide governments and institutions in building a stronger, more adaptable health workforce for the future.
