Abstract
[Extract] Inequities in the distribution of human resources in health around the world have long been a topic of concern and discussion. There is an absolute shortage of health care providers in many parts of the world, notably in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of the Asia–Pacific region. However, here and in other areas the problem is that the available health care workforce is maldistributed, both geographically and in terms of specialty. Understanding these issues and their drivers is an important step in developing, implementing and evaluating potential solutions, but both the understanding and the solutions need to be contextualised to region and circumstance.
