Results: The USA, the UK, and the KSA showed an insufficient concentration of PH specialists and educational opportunities. In contrast, Singapore and Canada incentivized citizens to pursue PH education, resulting in more PH physicians and specialists. The UAE (Abu Dhabi) was found to remain in its early stages of development.

Conclusion: To strengthen and advance the public health workforce in the UAE (Abu Dhabi) and the countries described, the concept needs to be defined and integrated fully into the entire health system, from academia to the transversal structures of the Ministries of Health.

阿布扎比公共卫生人力资源发展：六国比较的学习要点。

目的：本研究旨在回顾六个国家：阿拉伯联合酋长国（UAE）、美利坚合众国（USA）、沙特阿拉伯王国（KSA）、英国（UK）、加拿大和新加坡的医疗保健系统和教育公共卫生（PH）劳动力结构。方法：本综述是通过检索世界卫生组织和世界银行的数据库、各国卫生部和国家统计局的官方数据、欧洲公共卫生协会以及教育机构进行的研究得出的。结果：美国、英国和沙特阿拉伯的PH专家集中度和教育机会不足。相比之下，新加坡和加拿大鼓励公民接受PH教育，从而产生了更多的PH医生和专家。人们发现阿联酋（阿布扎比）仍处于发展的早期阶段。结论：为了加强和推进阿联酋（阿布扎比）和上述国家的公共卫生人力，需要对这一概念进行界定，并将其充分纳入从学术界到卫生部横向结构的整个卫生系统。
