Description:
This background paper to the World Health Report 2006 presents an analysis of the relationship between the availability of doctors, nurses and midwives across countries and the intervention coverage. It demonstrates that health status and levels of coverage are positively associated with health worker density. The purpose of this paper, is to determine whether these relationships are robust to the inclusion of many more countries in the data set. The authors explore alternative functional forms and estimation procedures and investigate the impact of controlling for additional determinants of health outcomes and outputs. [from publisher]
