This WHO guideline focuses on strategies to develop, attract, recruit, and retain healthcare workers in rural and remote areas. It provides comprehensive global policy recommendations to improve access to medical staff in underserved regions. The guidelines emphasize sustainable development, universal health coverage, and decent working conditions, aiming to align workforce training with local needs. Recommendations include recruiting students from rural backgrounds, locating medical schools closer to rural areas, and providing continuous education for healthcare workers in these regions. Aimed at policymakers and healthcare administrators, the guide offers practical implementation advice to enhance workforce retention and improve healthcare access in distant communities.
