Designing effective task-shifting programmes to address critical surgical healthcare workforce shortages
The African Health Observatory Platform on Health Systems and Policies (AHOP) and the RCS England-LSE Global Surgery Policy Unit (GSPU) collaborated to organize a cross-cutting policy dialogue on addressing critical shortages in the surgical healthcare workforce through effective task-shifting programmes. The discussion brought together a wide range of stakeholders from Ethiopia, Nigeria, Rwanda, and the United Kingdom, from various sectors including Federal Ministries of Health (FMoH), professional associations, international organizations, academic institutions, AHOP, health facilities, and policy makers.
