HRH Global Resource Center August Update

This monthly update from the HRH Global Resource Center provides information on the latest resources, improvements, and news from this digital library devoted to human resources for health (HRH).

The HRH Global Resource Center (GRC) is happy to report the successful launch event for its new eLearning program. The GRC offers free courses developed by technical experts in the fields of HRH, health informatics, and health service delivery to build the capacity of country-based users in critical skills development. If you were unable to attend, you can see the recording of the online event (the presentations begin at the 36-minute mark) or view the virtual handout for a brief tour of the platform.

The GRC is now partnered with CHW Central, a community of practice focused on community health workers. Our warmest welcome to our new partner, and we look forward to working together to support the sharing of critical HRH information.
