The relationship between Health System reductions and TB and Health Workforce Development and Funding: Zambia vs. Malawi

The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting looks at the rise of tuberculosis that has paralleled the crumbling of health systems in Moldova in, “As Health System Declined, TB Increased.”

In Human Resources for Health, “Health workforce responses to global health initiatives funding: a comparison of Malawi and Zambia,” shows that a large increase in international funds to support global health resulted in more lower-level health workers and modest growth in clinical staff in Malawi. In Zambia, however, the number of clinical staff stagnated despite increased  international funding.
