Health services sector
 |
Yet, the affordability of health care challenges most countries. The global shortages and unequal distribution of qualified health personnel are a major constraint in providing universal access to health care. Wide-spread reforms of health systems are continuously changing the employment environment for health care workers.
Decent work for health workers is essential to provide quality health care. Health services are unique and complex work environments with inherent opportunities and challenges. The ILO supports improvement of working conditions and labour relations in the health sector through sectoral labour standards and social dialogue, and collaborates with World Health Organization (WHO) to promote supportive, enabling and healthy work environments for the health workforce.
