Senior Minister in the Office of the President with Responsibility for Finance and the Public Service, Dr Ashni Singh has posited that the health sector faces the challenge of having sufficient skilled personnel, an issue he says his government is moving to address.
Dr Singh made these remarks while participating in the second high level meeting of the Economic and Health Dialogue of the Americas (EHA) Initiative, held in Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic, a Ministry of Finance release stated yesterday. He further noted that “the question of adequate supply of trained health sector professionals is one that cannot be confronted nationally alone, it has to be confronted regionally, and even hemispherically,” and urged for hemispheric action to address human resource deficit in the health sector.
