This article provides a brief overview of the global health-worker shortage, which could undermine the Millennium Development Goal to halt and begin to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS. The current situation suggests that long-term solutions to shortages can only be found by addressing the problem from a global perspective; that is, to eliminate shortages through substantial investments in training and retaining health workers in developed and developing countries, and not through policies that do not work towards solving this underlying problem, such as ones that restrict migration.
本文简要概述了全球卫生工作者短缺的问题，这可能会破坏千年发展目标中关于遏制并开始扭转艾滋病毒/艾滋病蔓延的目标。当前形势表明，只有从全球角度出发才能找到解决短缺问题的长期办法；也就是说，通过在发达国家和发展中国家对卫生工作者进行大量培训和留用投资来消除短缺，而不是采取不解决这一根本问题的政策，如限制移民的政策。
