Capacity Building to Strengthen Health Workforce Governance and Management in Indonesia
Summary
Indonesia’s large and widely dispersed population makes providing equal access to health care a challenging task. Despite attempts by the Indonesian Government, the quality of health professionals varies and there remains a disproportionate concentration of health professionals in urban areas. Accordingly, this Project aims to improve the Indonesian Government’s ability to deliver quality health services throughout Indonesia by improving workforce governance and management in the health sector.
