Policy Brief by the SHARE project:

KEY MESSAGES

Doctors play a multifaceted role in the urban primary health care project, providing both clinical and administrative services.

Retention of skilled physicians is a challenge at both service provision and managerial levels.

Low salaries, absence of career enhancement opportunities, and safety issues contribute to retention challenges.

Issues of recruiting, motivating, and retaining skilled physicians need to be urgently addressed to enhance project outcomes.
