International Conference Centre, Geneva - 22-23 March 2007
World Health Day on 7 April, 2006 was dedicated to the global health care workforce shortage. In an effort to support and acknowledge the difficulty to build sustainable health systems with the instability of reliance on large scale emigration, the 2007 A Call to Action: Ensuring Global Human Resources for Health, will aim to address what we have done and what action steps we can take to solve this critical problem.
With a multi-disciplinary focus, and a convening of global stakeholders, this meeting will stimulate discussion and spotlight evidence-based, pragmatic approaches to build, retain and sustain a workforce, both nationally and internationally. Policy implications will be addressed as well as promising practices for the hospital, the health care community and society. The meeting will link research, policy and action for global human resources for health.
