Despite some recent successes, further improvements in health outcomes are in part hampered by the lack of skilled service providers, or human resources for health (HRH), particularly in rural areas, that prevent critical health services from being accessed and adequately delivered to those that need them most. To address the lack of information to guide the development of policies and programs on HRH, the book aims to paint a comprehensive picture on HRH, consolidating new and existing evidence on stock, distribution and performance of health workers to focus on the ?what?, as in ?What is the situation on HRH?? and the ?how?, as in ?How is this situation explained?? . The book highlights in particular new evidence on some of the underlying determinants impacting stock, distribution and performance of health workers in Ghana, including health worker production and attrition, management and accountability structures, the capacity of health training institutions, and health worker compensation. As is made clear, any potential policies to improve the situation on HRH need to be well targeted, and take into account some of the fiscal and political challenges that are specific to the health labor market in Ghana. The data and findings presented in this book are the result of extended and close collaboration between the Ghana Ministry of Health, and the World Bank?s Africa Region Technical Team on HRH and will provide a better basis for Ghanaian decision makers and external partners to dialogue on HRH and related policies, resulting in concrete HRH actions. More broadly, it will be of interest to all those working to improve Human Resources for Health in Africa and beyond.

“Appiah-Denkyira, Herbst [24] and Asamani, Amertil [25] concur with the above, further stating that, the quality of training nurses and midwives is deficient in infrastructure and technical capacities, thus contributing to the lack of competencies.”

“More so, Appiah-Denkyira, Herbst [24] mentioned that, the prolong delay by the government in recruiting SBAs to fill vacant positions also contributes to shortages of these SBAs especially in areas where their services would have been needed immediately.”

“There are also concerns about poor supervision of leaders across all management levels in the health system, which is reflected in the poor quality of service provision and the poor attitude of health workers [24].”

In the citing paper
“Appiah-Denkyira, Herbst [24] illustrates the ineffective decentralization of authority over human resource management in the GHS unlike CHAG, especially in recruitment of health workforce, as a challenging issue which affects effective management of human resource.”

“Even though the government has introduced the CHPS programme and increased the intake of midwives in training as a strategy to improve SBA, the unavailability of midwives, especially in CHPS centres in the country, makes this impossible [24].”

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.
