Human resources for health are in crisis worldwide, especially in economically disadvantaged areas and areas with high rates of HIV/AIDS in both health workers and patients. International organizations such as the Global Health Workforce Alliance have been established to address this crisis. A technical working group within the Global Health Workforce Alliance developed recommendations for scaling up education and training of health workers. The paper will illustrate how decision-makers can use evidence and tools from an equity-oriented toolkit to scale up training and education of health workers, following five recommendations of the technical working group. The Equity-Oriented Toolkit, developed by the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Knowledge Translation and Health Technology Assessment in Health Equity, has four major steps: (1) burden of illness; (2) community effectiveness; (3) economic evaluation; and (4) knowledge translation/implementation. Relevant tools from each of these steps will be matched with the appropriate recommendation from the technical working group.
全球范围内的卫生人力资源正处于危机之中，特别是在经济条件落后地区以及卫生工作者和患者中艾滋病毒/艾滋病发病率较高的地区。诸如全球卫生人力联盟等国际组织的成立就是为了应对这一危机。全球卫生人力联盟内的一个技术工作组为扩大卫生工作者的教育和培训提出了建议。本文将举例说明决策者如何使用来自以公平为导向的工具包中的证据和工具，根据技术工作组的五项建议扩大培训和教育卫生工作者。由世界卫生组织知识转化和卫生公平健康技术评估合作中心开发的以公平为导向的工具包有四个主要步骤：（1）疾病负担；（2）社区效果；（3）经济评估；和（4）知识转化/实施。将从这些步骤中的每一步中找到相关工具，并将其与技术工作组的相应建议相匹配。
