| Abstract: | Background The current shortage of human resources for health threatens the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals. There is
currently limited published evidence of health-related training programmes in Africa that have produced graduates, who remain
and work in their countries after graduation. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that the majority of graduates of field
epidemiology training programmes (FETPs) in Africa stay on to work in their home countries--many as valuable resources to
overstretched health systems. |
