How can we increase access to health workers in remote areas? Dr. Carmen Dolea has been thinking about this challenge for a while.<br>
<br>
The latest edition of CapacityPlus <<a href="http://www.capacityplus.org/" target="_blank">http://www.capacityplus.org/</a>> Voices, Partnering to keep health workers in the communities that need them <<a href="http://www.capacityplus.org/sites/intrah.civicactions.net/files/resources/Voices_2_WHO.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.capacityplus.org/sites/intrah.civicactions.net/files/resources/Voices_2_WHO.pdf</a>> , features Dr. Dolea of the World Health Organization. She talks about the WHO's global policy recommendations <<a href="http://www.who.int/hrh/retention/guidelines/en/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.who.int/hrh/retention/guidelines/en/index.html</a>>  for increasing access to health workers through improved retention in remote and rural areas.<br>

<br> Dr. Dolea emphasizes that countries should consider the recommendations "within the overall development of the national human resources for health plan." Following analysis of the current situation and needs, policy-makers can "come up with a priority list of interventions that are most appropriate for the country context and situation."<br>
