Description:

This report is an attempt to systematically document and evaluate the state of the health workforce in Africa. It draws on academic published literature (which is limited), the WHO statistical database (which is incomplete and only sporadically updated), studies of bilateral donors, national documents, and newspaper articles. The report shows clearly that for more than a decade HR issues have received very little attention. [from foreword]
