title: Improving the availability of maternal and child healthcare staff Organizing equitable access to competent healthcare professionals.
abstract: From now until 2030, low-income countries are expected to have a deficit of around 18 million healthcare workers, unless significant action is taken to reduce these shortages. The French Muskoka Fund has made it possible to improve the strategies of management of maternal and child healthcare personnel in 9 French-speaking countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The objective was to improve policies for the training, recruitment, and retention of healthcare personnel in these countries to ensure effective staff coverage in healthcare facilities for mothers and children.
