Survival and Retention Strategies for Malawian Health Professionals

One of the biggest challenges facing African health systems is the shortage of human resources for health (HRH). This shortage has been exacerbated by the AIDS pandemic, which has not only increased attrition of health workers, but has also increased work loads as a result of increased morbidity in the general population. In addition, morbidity among health workers themselves leads to absenteeism, resulting in work overload for the remaining health professionals (Paradath et al, 2003).

Understanding the Complex Drivers of Instrinsic Motivation for Health Workers in Malawi

Africa's insufficient health workforce is a major constraint in attaining the Millennium Development Goals for reducing poverty and disease (Manafa et al., 2009). The World Health Organization's (WHO) World Health Report 2006 shows that countries with fewer than 2.3 doctors, nurses, and midwives per 1,000 people fail to achieve an 80 percent coverage rate of measles immunization and the presence of skilled birth attendants during childbirth (WHO, 2006a).

Annual Review Report for Health Sector 2014 - 2015

This Annual Report comes in the final year of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Health Sector Strategic Plan (2011 – 2016). It is, therefore, a good time to start reflecting on the overall achievements made under the ending HSSP in order to inform the next Health Sector Strategic Plan for the Country. Consequently, the presentations in this report are a mixture of the 2014/2015 Fiscal Year performance and the trend in health outcomes over the last five years.
