Report of the High-Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth

Investing in health workforce - a global gain

World Health Organisation (WHO) How can at least 40 million new jobs in the health and social sector be created? How can the estimated decline in the health workforce of 18 million, especially in developing countries, be prevented by 2030? The Commission calls on the international community to act: a global investment in the health workforce not only promotes the economic and social recovery in many countries, but also represents an important step towards the implementation of the SDGs.
