全世界的卫生人力资源都处于危机之中，特别是在经济条件差的地区和卫生工作者和病人艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染率高的地区。为应对这一危机，建立了全球卫生工作者联盟等国际组织。全球卫生工作者联盟内的一个技术工作组为扩大卫生工作者的教育和培训提出了建议。该文件将说明决策者如何能够根据技术工作组的五项建议，利用面向公平的工具包中的证据和工具，扩大对卫生工作者的培训和教育。由世界卫生组织卫生公平知识转化和卫生技术评估合作中心开发的面向公平的工具包有四个主要步骤：（1）疾病负担;（2）社区效力;（3）经济评价;（4）知识转化/实施。每个步骤的相关工具都将与技术工作组的适当建议相匹配。
Human resources for health are in crisis worldwide, especially in economically disadvantaged areas and areas with high rates of HIV/AIDS in both health workers and patients. International organizations such as the Global Health Workforce Alliance have been established to address this crisis. A technical working group within the Global Health Workforce Alliance developed recommendations for scaling up education and training of health workers. The paper will illustrate how decision-makers can use evidence and tools from an equity-oriented toolkit to scale up training and education of health workers, following five recommendations of the technical working group. The Equity-Oriented Toolkit, developed by the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Knowledge Translation and Health Technology Assessment in Health Equity, has four major steps: (1) burden of illness; (2) community effectiveness; (3) economic evaluation; and (4) knowledge translation/implementation. Relevant tools from each of these steps will be matched with the appropriate recommendation from the technical working group.
