The UN High-Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth: The Opportunity for Communities and their...

Focusing on the UN High-Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth, this paper examines its potential impact on primary health-care to communities. It contains a set of curated interviews with key decision-makers who are determining how health workers are trained and employed all over the world. The commentaries come from individuals who have either been or have not been directly involved in the work of the Commission, exploring the necessary actions needed in support of implementing these recommendations, highlighting the ultimate potential impact at the local level - health systems and health workers working in communities and their primary health systems. Please note that the full submissions for these individuals are contained in Appendix 1 (available at: www.longwoods.com/content/25309).
