More so, as populations age, chronic diseases grow, and the improvement and expansion of healthcare systems are advanced, there is a dire need for a skilled and sufficiently strong healthcare workforce.

Depending on the gaps in manpower supply, training dearth, and upcoming demand, the paper provides solutions for fighting the healthcare workforce shortage.
