More than 43 million additional health workers are needed to meet targets for universal health coverage around the world, according to a new peer-reviewed study by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington’s School of Medicine.
The COVID-19 pandemic pushed an already indispensable development sector into further focus over the past few years, with commitments to health from international financial institutions, or IFIs, rising from around $4 billion in 2019 to nearly $9.5 billion in 2020. The response to COVID-19 and future pandemic preparedness continues to spur new funding, as do ongoing efforts combating malaria, AIDS, and other long-term health crises.
With this in mind, and as part of an ongoing effort to highlight salary trends across the development sector, we are now looking at salaries that have been offered for global health roles this year on Devex’s job board. We’ve encouraged recruiters to include salary information in their job postings since last year, aiming to provide insights to both job seekers and recruiters and foster a globaldev culture of salary transparency.
