 HEALTH WORKFORCE PERFORMANCE

We aim to identify strategies to improve health workforce recruitment, retention, productivity and responsiveness in ways that preferentially benefit the poorest.

International attention remains focused on the challenge of developing more effective responses to health workforce problems. The CREHS programme of work has been developed to address three main issues:

  •  factors affecting the motivation and retention of nurses;
  •  issues relating to accountability between health workers and the populations/individuals they serve;
  •  the effective functioning of community health worker programmes.

During 2007/8 major progress has been made on the health worker retention study. Research will investigate the attitudes, values, preferences and early choices of a cohort of nursing graduates in Kenya, South Africa and Thailand, a cohort of doctors will also be followed-up in Thailand.

The intention of the research is to follow up over time the study cohorts in each country to observe the actual career choices that health graduates make and to compare these choices with their initial states preferences.
