Health Workforce Development Team
Health workers are the most important resource for health systems. The resilience of health systems is heavily reliant on
the availability of competent health workers. The world suffers from a shortage of health workers, and if the current trends
continue, a shortfall of 18 million health workers is projected by 2030, primarily in low- and lower-middle-income countries, with
approximately 1.6 million in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. We thus work towards ensuring that all people have access to a
competent health workforce functioning within robust health systems.
