One of the biggest challenges facing the global health community is not a new pandemic, a natural disaster or the aftermath of a vicious civil war – it’s a shortage of health care workers that makes dealing with all of these unrelenting situations much harder. In many countries, a lack of doctors, nurses, community health workers, and support staff is hampering the sustainability and development of health systems. Even though the world economy is expected to create 40 million new health sector jobs in the next 13 years, it won’t be enough to ensure we reach a UN-established target of ensuring that everyone, wherever they live in the world, has access to health care by 2030. Project HOPE CEO Dr. Tom Kenyon joins the Global Health Checkup podcast to discuss how to overcome the shortfall.
