description The public health sector has an obligation to contribute to the overall developmental goal of the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy and, from an international perspective, the Millennium Development Goals (MGDs). The attainment of both of these development agendas is dependent on the health status and productivity of the people of Malawi. This is in line with what US Secretary of State said recently Oslo Conference on “Charting a New Path in Global Health” that the stability of any nation is tied up to the well-being of its people. It is pleasing to note that as a country, Malawi continues to register positive strides in a number of health indicators since the inception of the 6-Year Program of Work (2004-2010) through the Sector Wide Approach. However, some of our vital indicators like the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) are unacceptably high and must be tackled aggressively if we are to sustain the nation’s stability. This will entail continued enhancement of the quality and access to health services for all segments of the population. The Ministry also recognizes that utilization of health services is critically dependent on what services are provided at each delivery point and the number and skills mix of human resources health that is available. Like the first strategic plan, the major focus of this plan is to increase the level of training outputs and also consolidate and sustain gains made from the implementation of a 6_year Emergency Human Resources Plan based on an equitable availability of competent and motivated health workforce that is effectively contributing to improvement of health services accessed by the people of Malawi. The Ministry Health recognizes that this is only possible under a framework of pursuing common vision and priorities for all partners in the health sector to pull together in planning, development, deployment and utilization of human resources for complementarity and synergy. Successful implementation of this HRH Strategy rests on true and honest partnerships, both within and outside the health sector including, but not limited to for- and not for-profit organizations, co-operating partners, etc. and that there is shared vision, mutual respect, transparency and recognition of contribution by all stakeholders. I call upon everybody from the government, co-operating partners down to the community to work together and amicably implement the plan. I am aware of the many challenges that be there during the implementation phase, but I am confident that with the concerted efforts and sustained commitment from government and all of us, the needs of the population and those of the service providers can be addressed.
