Data quality checks and country consultation are employed.</td> </tr> <tr> <th>Rationale</th> <td>The SDG agenda gives recognition to UHC as key to achieving all other health targets. SDG 3c sets a target to "substantially increase health financing and the recruitment, development, training and retention of the health workforce in developing countries, especially in least developed countries and small island developing States." WHO and its partners developed the Global Strategy on Human Resources for Health: Workforce 2030 (GSHRH) to accelerate progress towards UHC and the SDGs by ensuring equitable access to health workers within strengthened health systems. Resolution (WHA69.19) urges Member States to consolidate a core set of HRH data with annual reporting to the Global Health Observatory, as well as progressive implementation of National Health Workforce Accounts to support national policy and planning and the GSHRH's monitoring and accountability framework.</td> </tr> <tr> <th>Denominator</th> <td>Data on health workers tend to be more complete for the public health sector and may underestimate the active workforce in the private, military, nongovernmental organization and faith-based health sectors. In many cases, information maintained at the national regulatory bodies and professional councils is not updated. As data is not always published annually for each country, the latest available data has been used. Due to the differences in data sources, considerable variability remains across countries in the coverage, periodicity, quality and completeness of the original data.</td> </tr> <tr> <th>Institutional mandate</th> <td>The Global Strategy for Human Resources for Health: 2030 agenda and the progressive implementation of NHWA adopted in Sixty-ninth World Health Assembly (WHA69.19). WHA69.19 urges Member States to share health workforce data to WHO, to increase the evidence base on health workforce statistics globally.</td> </tr> <tr> <th>Associated resolutions</th> <td> <p>WHA69.19</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12"> <h2 id="data-sources"> <span>Data sources</span> <span class="line"></span> </h2> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12"> <div class="table-container"> <table aria-labelledby="data-sources"> <tbody> <tr> <th>Data collection process</th> <td>Countries are encouraged to adopt a progressive NHWA implementation approach building on multi-stakeholder engagement at national and sub-national levels.
