A skilled health worker can make the difference between life and death. Health workers should be deployed when and where they are needed to save lives, and possess skills that are adequate wherever they work, in public, private or non-profit-making establishments. This handbook provides the tools needed for active monitoring and better management of the workforce. The core and common methods described here will help to enhance public confidence in the health system and enable the health workforce to be at the right place at the right time to make a difference, for both individuals and communities.
