Book excerpt: This report: (1) identifies the main policies, objectives, and thrusts in the health manpower development (HMD) program of the World Health Organization (WHO); (2) identifies factors influencing or determining these policies, and examines how they have shaped the HMD program; (3) investigates how policy changes and achievements in health manpower development in the WHO Member States could be correlated with HMD policies and programs in WHO; and (4) draws conclusions for the formulation of policies and programs for WHO for the near and long-term future. Part One of the report starts with a review of the background of organized international health activities and the birth of WHO. The structure and functions of WHO are described along with the administrative evolution of activities related to the education of health personnel and the development of health manpower. Part Two discusses the development of HMD activities under the state priorities of WHO: (1) greater supplies of conventional health personnel; (2) improved personnel standards and academic excellence; (3) international standards and migratory freedom; (4) health personnel to serve all people; (5) efficient training and performance of health personnel; (6) preparation for future requirements; (7) training of appropriate personnel for local health needs; and (8) health service needs determining manpower developments. Part Three examines all HMD activities as observed in six countries (Ethiopia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Gabon, Costa Rica, Barbados). A description of overall world trends in HMD is presented with an analysis of the extent of the relationship between health manpower resources and the health status of the national population. The estimated impact of WHO on national health manpower developments is assessed. Part Four summarizes the findings reported in the previous chapters. (JD)

Book excerpt: This guide is intended to assist countries contemplating a comprehensive, action-oriented review of health labor force development to improve their national health systems. Various aspects of the health system infrastructure are examined (major components, organizational structure, coordinating mechanisms, sources of information, and interrelationships between health systems and labor force development). The chapter on health labor force planning examines national policies, mechanisms for assessing the current health labor force situation and planning improvements, planning methods, health labor force research, and information flows. The next chapter covers the general educational system; schools for training health personnel; and training for the various health occupations (including physicians, pharmacists, dentists and dental personnel, nurses and midwives, community health workers, diagnostic technicians and assistants, environmental health personnel, and health leaders and administrators). Authorization to practice, work conditions, personnel functions and administration, and various public and private sector health care providers are examined in a chapter on managing the health labor force. The final chapter outlines trends and makes recommendations concerning planning, production, management, international collaboration, and plans of action. Appendixes or annexes describe health labor force development in the Islamic Republic of Iran, New Zealand, the Republic of Rwanda, and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam. (MN)

Book excerpt: Sustainable Human Development in the Twenty-First Century is a component of Encyclopedia of Human Resources Policy, Development and Management in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty Encyclopedias. The volume of Human Development examines the state and nature of human development and identifies factors that determine its promotion for the twenty-first century. A general goal, since the ultimate goal for human development is to enhance the quality of human life. However, the concept “quality of human life” is not well defined. It is determined by a set of interrelated factors that cut across many disciplines with varied perspectives and paradigms. These include the prevailing culture, health status, economic performance, technological development, political and social conditions, the building of human capacity and capabilities, and institutional development on the local and global levels. For example, in an environment characterized by a better quality of human life, it is expected that people will be able to lead long and productive lives. They are also expected to enjoy good health, have access to knowledge and educational opportunities, and be treated by all with respect, in a socially equitable and dignified manner. In the sphere of political economy, they are expected to have the opportunity to participate in governance decisions that affect their lives and the community in which they live; and to have the potential to earn sufficient income to supply themselves with adequate nutrition, shelter, and other material and aesthetic needs. Furthermore, people are expected to maintain a sustainable environment and equitable social contracts across space and generations, especially in the context of the evolving global governance. The volume of “Sustainable Human Development in the Twenty-First Century” is divided into five topics which are then expanded into multiple subtopics, each as a chapter presented in two volumes. The first is “Major issues in Human Development” and provides an over view of the Topic with emphasis on the sociological foundation of human development. The second Topic, “Diversity and Historical Processes” reviews the historical and technological processes which have led to the present state of human diversity and differentiation. The third Topic, “Causes of Global Change” focuses on whether it is possible in the present global environment to enlarge people's capabilities so that economic progress may be translated into a multidimensional human happiness. The fourth Topic, “Consequences of Global Change” examines global change not in the narrow sense of short-term economic change, but rather as historical waves of long-term development. The fifth Topic on Planning Strategies reviews current practice and projects challenges in the next century. These two volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College Students, Educators, Professional Practitioners, Research Personnel and Policy Analysts, Managers, and Decision Makers and NGOs.
