Human Resources for Health

Scope

Human Resources for Health welcomes manuscripts on all aspects of the planning, education, management and governance of human resources for health – particularly those of international relevance and global reach. Human Resources for Health aims to support and shape the growing focus on health workforce policy, profile, planning, and performance, and on its contributions to improved health care effectiveness and population health, equity, access, social inclusion, and economic growth. Human Resources for Health encourages debate and analysis on the health workforce aspects of health sector reform, health service funding and structures, regulation, technology, equity, and access. It contributes to the global evidence base by disseminating research and analysis on: health workforce policy and governance; health labour markets; the training, education and development of the workforce; health workforce practice and management; health workforce mobility and migration; job satisfaction, motivations, and career patterns; skill mix, performance and outcomes; and development of knowledge tools and implementation mechanisms, nationally and internationally.
