Abstract
The results demonstrate that the WISN approach applied to the Health Workforce Estimator tools can be readily adapted to the local context to rapidly estimate the number of health workers and beds needed to respond to the predicted COVID-19 pandemic caseload. Many countries have implemented WISN since WHO launched the revised WISN manual and the automated multilingual WISN software tool, in 2010. Health systems can only function with health workers; improving health service coverage, and realizing the right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is dependent on their availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality of service [[1]].
