The crisis in human resources for health was highlighted at the annual conference of The Network: Towards Unity for Health (TUFH)<\/a>, recently held in Ghent, Belgium (September 9-13), where the conference theme was improving social accountability in education, research and service delivery<\/i>. Although numerous health-related topics were discussed, the shortage of health professionals, including physicians and nurses in many developing countries was of particular concern. Effective service delivery requires good governance and a system of accountability \u2013 one that better manages and balances the global market of health professionals. FAIMER was represented at this meeting by Jack Boulet, Ph.D., Director of Research and Data Resources.<\/p>\n

FAIMER staff is currently engaged in several research projects aimed at quantifying the global migration of physicians as well as understanding the underlying reasons for emigration. These activities, in conjunction with various Network resources, can ultimately help to ensure that the global market for health professionals does not deprive poor communities of essential medical services.<\/p>\n

The next Network:TUFH meeting will be in Kampala, Uganda, September 15-20, 2007 (http:\/\/www.the-networktufh.org\/conferences\/futureconferences.asp<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
