Human resources and training, in the context of global health, refers to the development, management, and support of the health workforce so that systems have enough skilled personnel to deliver care effectively. It encompasses the recruitment, education, deployment, retention, and continuing professional development of doctors, nurses, community health workers, and other staff, as well as efforts to address shortages, distribution imbalances, and workforce wellbeing. A well-trained and well-supported workforce is widely regarded as essential to strengthening health systems and improving health outcomes, particularly in resource-limited settings. As a topic within the International Journal of Global Health, human resources and training connects workforce capacity to the broader goals of equitable and effective health care across countries. Research relevant to this area considers how health workers are trained and managed, the conditions that affect their performance and retention, and the strategies that build sustainable workforce capacity. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to health workforce development and training in global health.
