The world is currently facing a shortage of 7.2 million healthcare professionals, which is estimated to grow up to 12.9 million by 2035, says a joint report by WHO & Global Health Workforce Alliance. The 2013 report, A Universal Truth: No Health Without a Workforce, further points at India’s dismal density of 15.2 skilled health professionals per 10,000 populations (way below the global threshold of 22.8). This is alarming, owing to its direct bearing on India’s commitment to Universal Health Coverage.
