                                Today there is a worldwide shortage of nearly 4.3 million doctors, nurses, pharmacists, midwives, and other community health workers. This conference will convene leading experts and a broad spectrum of health care disciplines and organizations that are both experiencing and affecting the global shortage of health care workers. With a multidisciplinary focus and convening of global stakeholders, this meeting will stimulate discussion and help identify the action steps that can be taken based on evidence, to build, retain, and sustain a workforce. Focus will be on research, policy and promising practices to address this growing problem and how implementation can happen at the local community, national and international levels.
