Ground Truth in Kampala
Mar 10th, 2008 by Frank Donaghue
Hello from Kampala! At the First Global Forum on Human Resources for Health, hosted by the World Health Organization I’ve been completely immersed in a wide range of health workforce issues. It’s hard to capture the “fierce urgency” with which the right to health is discussed here.
Although more than a thousand people from around the world have joined in this forum, the real motivation for all of us is in the faces of the health care workers, nurses and doctors that face the workforce problems everyday. In small groups, we learned a lot from the health workers who know so much more than statistics. They understand the real nature of the problem and need for radical and innovative solutions.
