Governance and leadership strategies targeting the human resources for health crises in LMICs are diverse, interdependent, and complex. While some strategies show benefits in improving health workforce outcomes, only a few have an impact on population health outcomes.
Background Many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are facing a crisis of human resources for health (HRH) attributed to poor governance and leadership that characterizes the health sector in this setting. It is unclear which specific strategies are effective in ameliorating the crisis. Methods Selected electronic databases were searched up until 30 May 2020. Two authors screened studies independently and extracted data from included studies. Quality assessment was done using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Thematic analysis of the outcomes was done. Results We included 18 studies of variable designs across Africa, Asia, South America and the Pacific islands. Most were case-based studies and were of moderate to high quality. Several governance strategies with a positive impact on the health workforce and health outcomes identified included decentralization, central coordination and facilitation process, posting and transfer policies as well as the setting up of human resource units. Conclusions Governance and leadership strategies targeting the HRH crises in LMIC are variable, interdependent and complex. While some show benefits in improving health workforce outcomes, only a few have an impact on population health outcomes.
