HEALTH INSIGHTS
Health Infrastructure and Workforce
Sub-Saharan Africa bears approximately 24% of the global disease burden but is served by only 3% of the world’s health workers. This disparity is projected to result in a shortage of about 6.1 million health workers by 2030. To address this, the African Union has initiated efforts to recruit, train, and deploy 2 million community health workers by 2030.
