National human resources for health (HRH) strategic plan for Ethiopia 2016-2025

Abstract

Over the last decade or so, Ethiopia has made unparalleled expansion of tertiary education facilities. The health sector, in close collaboration with the education sector, has implemented a step-wise expansion in enrollment and training of various health science disciplines. The focus of successive health sector development programs has been to build a robust primary health care. Therefore, the development of human resource for health (HRH) has prioritized training of cadres fit for primary health care purpose. This, by and large, has been successfully implemented and helped our country make good progress in addressing priority health problems.
