T HE subject of this journal issue is a crucial one, and the papers speak eloquently of the importance of health care providers to wellfunctioning health services, measured through their training and skills level, the extent of managerial support they are given, the pay and benefits they receive, their career advancement opportunities, the conditions they are expected to work in and the resources available to them for their work. The papers reveal how starved public health services are of support for well-trained, well-paid, highly motivated health care providers, in practically every country examined. This journal issue includes papers about the women andmenwho collectively form the human resource base of public sexual and reproductive health services in Bangladesh, Guatemala, Indonesia, Kenya, Lithuania, Mongolia, Morocco and Zambia and in AIDS treatment programmes in Malawi and South Africa. In each case, many elements of the story are the same. Given the increasingly high expectations placed on health systems and health workers – e.g. to reduce maternal deaths, to prevent HIV infection – more health workers, better training and greater skills are needed and working conditions and salaries must be greatly improved
