Award winning BBC World News documentary series "Kill or Cure", produced by Rockhopper TV, broadcast a new documentary "Doctors and Nurses" featuring struggles of health workers in both developed and developing countries.

In the film Dr Mubashar Sheikh, Executive Director of the Alliance, explains about the need to invest more in health workforce to manage retention and migration of vitally needed trained personnel in order to resolve this global crisis. "It is critical that the countries that are facing shortages of health workers invest more and produce more health workers to create an environment where the health workers can stay," says Dr Sheikh in the film.
