Resource Spotlight: Uganda Health Workforce Study: Satisfaction and Intent to Stay Among Health Workers in Public and PNFP Facilities
This presentation was given at the First Forum on Human Resources for Health in Kampala. It describes a study to identify the level of satisfaction among current health workers in public and PNFP sectors, determine health workers’ intent to stay in the Ugandan health sector and to collaborate with the Ugandan Ministry of Health and other stakeholders to develop strategies to improve retention of health workers. The identified factors associated with health worker satisfaction, turnover and out-migration will be used to develop strategies and policies to improve health worker satisfaction and retention.
