The Global Monitoring Report underscores the vital role of the health and care workforce in advancing universal health coverage and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With halfway progress on the SDGs, urgent actions are needed to reverse setbacks from COVID-19, conflicts, and climate change. Key insights include:

• Health systems oriented toward primary health care (PHC) prioritize delivering essential health services, community engagement, and human rights, with health workforce investment being a core priority for resiliency.
• There are significant disparities in health workforce development, particularly in Africa (where the gap share is projected to rise from 25% in 2013 to 52% by 2030) and small island developing states, where workforce shortages are worsening.
• Strategies such as scaling up pre-service education, improving workforce quality standards, and ensuring rational skills mix can drive progress, but impacts of COVID-19 and migration strain resources.
• Gender equality remains a challenge, with women constituting 67% of the global health workforce but facing a 24% gender pay gap and overrepresentation in low-paid roles.

Overall, the report calls for strengthened political commitment and intersectoral collaboration to accelerate global health workforce development and achieve SDG targets.
