The World Health Organization (WHO) projects a global shortfall of 18 million health workers by 2030, mostly in low- and lower-middle-income countries. Contributing to the global deficit are chronic under-investment in education and training of health workers; workforce migration; an aging health wo...rkforce; rapid increases in chronic diseases; and inability to track existing human resources using health information systems. Health care worker shortages are compounded by the increased portability and virulence of infections. Rapid population growth, climate change, deforestation, international travel, migration, poverty, and social inequality have dramatically increased the risk of pandemics and highlighted the need for skilled health workforce to effectively respond to emerging health threats. This is evident now more than ever as COVID-19 exacerbates health inequity and barriers to access, and further strains the already fragile health systems in many countries.

Universal health coverage (UHC) has a central place in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, as
it is a major target (3.8) under SDG 3 (Ensuring healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages). The World Health
Organization defines Universal Health Coverage (UHC) ...as a means through which all people and communities can use the
promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative health services they need, of sufficient quality to be effective,

Policy Brief. Good practice statement: When planning and implementing a response for HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted diseases (STIs), policy-makers and providers should be aware that
counselling behavioural interventions aimed to change behaviours to reduce risks associated
with th...ese infections for key populations have not been shown to have an effect on HIV, viral
hepatitis and STIs’ incidence nor on risk behaviour such as condom use and needle/syringe
sharing. Counselling and information sharing, not aimed at changing behaviours, can be a key
component of engagement with key populations and, when provided, it should be in a nonjudgemental manner, alongside other prevention interventions and with involvement of peers

Social and behavior change communication (SBCC) goes beneath the surface to uncover the causes of behaviors, the social structures... that drive the epidemic and the factors that increase risk and vulnerability. FHI 360 experts are global leaders in both the response to HIV/AIDS and in the implementation of SBCC.
