Human Resources for Health (HRH): Principles and Practices

A group of student nurse midwives gather as they start their training at a local health facility in Nigeria.

The purpose of this course is to orient learners to the basic principles and promising practices related to health workforce development and strengthening. Following the structure of the World Health Organization (WHO) Global HRH Strategy: Workforce 2030, the course introduces concepts and solution-focused examples that aim to support the existing health workforce and build the future health workforce through site-level interventions, policymaking, data use, and other evidence-based initiatives.
