TANZANIA HUMAN RESOURCE FOR HEALTH (HRH)ARE WE ON TRACK?

The health workforce is the backbone of a good functioning health system that is critical in accelerating progress towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and building strong primary health care systems and equitable access to health for all. Despite its importance, Tanzania faces a chronic shortage of qualified health workers particularly in the rural areas that become a major barrier for accessing quality health services, leaving the populations most in need behind.
