 from Eric Friedman <EFriedman at phrusa.org> -----

Here are a two more reports on the health worker shortage globally and in 
Africa, including suggestions of what to do about it:

Physicians for Human Rights, An Action Plan to Prevent Brain Drain:
Building Equitable Health Systems in Africa (2004):
http://www.phrusa.org/campaigns/aids/pdf/braindrain.pdf

World Health Organization, World Health Report 2006: Working Together for 
Health (2006): 
http://www.who.int/whr/2006/en/index.html

Also, the Capacity Project's HRH Global Resource Center
(http://www.hrhresourcecenter.org/) is a good resource, and includes a number 
of papers related to health worker retention.  I also recommend a bibliography 
of publications on human resources that that Equinet has established: 
http://www.equinetafrica.org/bibl/resources.php (links to the publications are 
included)
