Health workforce needs in Malawi: analysis of the Thanzi La Onse integrated epidemiological model of care
The results suggest that services are being delivered in less time on average than they should be, or that healthcare workers are working more time than contracted, or a combination of the two. Moreover, the analysis shows that the healthcare system could become overwhelmed if patients were more likely to seek care. It is not yet known what the health consequences of such changes would be but this new model provides-for the first time-a means to examine such questions.
