Chemonics "The target of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.c.1 is to “substantially increase health financing and the recruitment, development, training and retention of the health workforce in developing countries” by 2030 and thus improve health workforce density and distribution. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates a shortfall of 10 million healthcare workers by 2030, mostly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In addition, there is insufficient distribution, skills, and performance of existing healthcare workers to meet primary health needs.
So how can we address these gaps, while remaining on track to achieve SDG 3? Country health systems must build resilience to deliver health for all; promote global health security and bolster strategies to mitigate climate impacts; and recognize the lifeblood of their workforces."
