Health indicators in Ethiopia,
particularly on child health and malaria, have improved
significantly in recent years, with the next challenge now
focused on improving maternal health indicators.
Improvements in child health and malaria in particular can
be attributed to strong government commitment towards health
results, reflected in a number of notable policies and
programs related to Human Resources for Health (HRH), in
particular the health extension worker program. However,
indicators related to maternal health remain problematic.
Ethiopia has one of the lowest levels of assisted deliveries
in the region. Although increases in the number of health
workers particularly in rural areas may have contributed to
improving access to some health services, it is in the
government's interest to further improve the stock,
distribution, and performance of relevant health workers in
Ethiopia, particularly to bring about improvement in access
to maternal health services for the poor. This document
reviews the current HRH situation in Ethiopia, summarizes
the evidence on population use of select health services,
and offers relevant policy options to assist the government
finalize its new human resources strategy and address
remaining health challenges. |
