The Human Resources for Health Program in Rwanda — A New Partnership
Open accessAbstract
A global shortage of 4.3 million health professionals poses a major bottleneck to poor people worldwide with regard to benefiting from the fruits of modern medicine. 1Among existing health professionals, there are also staggering inequities in skill levels and geographic distribution. 2-4Unsurprisingly, the deepest national gaps in human resources for health run parallel to poor population-level health outcomes. 1ub-Saharan Africa bears 24% of the global burden of disease 5 but is served by only 4% of the global health workforce. 1The health graduate schools in the region face overwhelming financial, infrastructural, and personnel constraints, limiting their ability to address the shortage. 2,5,

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
