Description:
There is broad policy consensus that a shortage of doctors and nurses is a key constraint to increasing utilization of essential health services important for achieving the health Millennium Development Goals. However, there is limited research on the quantitative links between health workers and service coverage rates. This article examines the relationship between doctor and nurse concentrations and utilization rates of five essential health services in developing countries. [adapted from abstract]
