Regional Workforce Challenges

Different regions face unique challenges in their healthcare workforce. For instance:

In Australia, a shortage of more than 10,600 general practitioners is expected by 2031-2032. Europe is experiencing a critical shortage of registered nurses, described as a potential crisis for health systems. South Korea has seen physician shortages leading to reduced hospital service hours. In 83 countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Oceania, there is a failure to meet basic standards of skilled health professionals per capita​​.

Global Strategy and Workforce Statistics

According to the WHO, the SDGs recognize UHC as essential for achieving health targets. The Global Strategy on Human Resources for Health: Workforce 2030 aims to ensure equitable access to health workers within strengthened health systems. The Global Health Workforce Statistics database, developed by WHO and its partners, consolidates core data on health workers to support policy and planning. However, variability exists in data coverage, quality, and completeness due to diverse sources like National Census, Labour Force Surveys, and other administrative sources.
