Conclusion This book provides a glimpse of some of the positive developments, complexities, and remaining challenges with regard to the stock, distribution, and performance of publicly funded health workers in Ghana. The book recognizes the key role played by the health workforce in increasing access to health services and improving health outcomes and the need to address any challenges in the most efficient and innovative manner possible. Deciding on which interventions and policy options to pursue should be informed by the need for additional (and more recent) evidence, potential capacity constraints to implement and administer such policies, significant fiscal constraints in paying for interventions, and a wide spectrum of political interests that have the potential to block the more innovative solutions.

Reduce the length of existing health science courses: Shorter courses at lower cost can increase the ability of training institutions to admit more health workers. • Consider cost-effective e-learning: Information and communication technology (ICT) provides opportunities for maximizing the use of scarce faculty and learning resources and can train larger numbers of ­students virtually. • Focus training on lower- and mid-level cadres: A focus on training higher-level cadres (such as physicians) limits the number of training slots that can be generated because of higher unit costs.

Employed Unemployed Migration Health sector Nonhealth sector 8 Appiah-Denkyira and Herbst The extent to which training institutions expose students to nationally relevant training, practice, and local working conditions can also impact labor market supply. Health worker performance within the labor market—the extent to which health workers are competent, able, and willing to perform—is influenced not only by the capacity of education systems to train health workers in sufficient skills, but also by the extent to which there are supportive working environments, and functioning management and accountability structures, and by the extent to which health workers are motivated (influenced by some or all of the above).
