Small countries initiative: micro case studies on human resources for health (2020)

English

Providing a full range of postgraduate and speciality training presents challenges for small countries that often find it necessary to seek collaboration with other (larger) countries to harness the necessary training capacity, input, and clinical experience. In addition, small countries can face challenges related to health-workforce mobility, such as vulnerability to outflows of migrant health workers and reliance on internationally recruited health workers. To help garner information on their needs in these areas, the small countries represented on the Ad Hoc Working Group on Human Resources for Health were asked to complete questionnaires, providing information on the related situations in their countries.  As a result of the responses received, a total of 16 micro case studies were developed, 9 on postgraduate training and 7 on the monitoring and management of health-workforce mobility.
