Below are both of McKinsey & Company’s reports on the human resources for health crisis in Tanzania. Click on either to download.

Investing in Tanzanian Human Resources for Health: An HRH report for the Touch Foundation, Inc. (2006) – Builds on the findings from McKinsey’s initial 2004 field visit to Tanzania, focusing on the training of human resources for health (HRH) as the primary lever for addressing the global healthcare crisis. Using Tanzania and our work at the Bugando University College of Health Sciences as a case study, it posits that “the only effective means of really addressing the HRH challenge in poor countries is to begin to immediately scale up training capacity.”

Acting Now to Overcome Tanzania’s Greatest Health Challenge: Addressing the Gap in Human Resources for Health (2004) – Reports the findings from a 2004 field visit to Tanzania. Describes the health challenges facing Tanzania and introduces a three-pronged approach for addressing the country’s severe healthcare crisis.
