Why is it important?
Coproduction provides common ground for health managers and unemployed health professionals to solve their problems and, in this sense, it improves health services and outcomes.
Perspectives
Whereas coproduction and co-creation of core health services are evident in urban hospitals in Africa, the health system remains unfair to the casual workers who have invested their accumulated human capital into a system that cannot provide them with enough to earn a living. The system exposes casual health workers to an insecure future.
