The health workforce plays a key role in
increasing access to health services for the poor in
developing countries. Recent evidence has demonstrated an
important link between staffing levels and both service
delivery and health outcomes. Various global and
country-level estimates have also shown that current
staffing levels in developing countries, particularly in
Sub-Saharan Africa, are often well below those required to
deliver essential health services. This study focuses on two
main aspects of health workforce policy. First, it examines
how overall government wage bill policies affect the size of
the health wage bill, the hiring of health workers in the
public sector, and the related policy options. This focus is
important because despite the importance of fiscal
constraints on the wage bill, and the persistent debate at
the global level, very little documented evidence describes
how health wage bill budgets in the public sector are
determined, how this action is linked to overall wage bill
policies, and how it affects the ability of governments to
increase staffing levels in the health sector. Second, this
report looks at how well health wage bill resources are used
in the public sector. |
