Task sharing for the management of non-communicable diseases in a humanitarian setting: An innovative approach in a low-middle income country (LMIC)
This study has identified an innovative approach to care, as demonstrated by the practices performed at the two clinics. Task shifting is a means of ensuring nurses' satisfaction. Therefore, it may positively impact retention at a time when we are witnessing an unprecedented migration of nurses from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to high-income countries (HICs). Interprofessional education needs to be reinforced at the undergraduate level to enhance collaboration among health care workers after graduation. At the policy level, considerable work is necessary to ensure that all stakeholders' voices are represented at the decision-making table and heard.
