This e-book, jointly sponsored by the World Health Organization and Leadership in Health Services, includes an interview and articles submitted by authors from around the world who are working in or studying health care issues from a global perspective. Recognizing the critical need for a skilled and sustainable workforce in the developing world, the papers describe the impact of the global situation, and address ways to meet the global shortage specifically through training and education initiatives designed to empower people to deal with the health and medical issues threatening to overwhelm them. Without enough workers and systems that facilitate the delivery of drugs vaccines, advice and care, all the money in the world cannot improve the health and well-being of the world's population.
