"Africa, despite having the world’s largest disease burden, has the lowest ratio of health workers per population. In recent work that IntraHealth conducted with the World Health Organization, we calculated that the global shortage of health workers will expand from 12 million to 18 million by 2030, with a 6 million shortage in Africa" - Dr. Kate Tulenko is VP, Health Systems Innovation at IntraHealth International
