Way Forward Key Messages Health Workforce is critical to the achievement of Universal Health Coverage and other health related Sustainable Development Goals. Currently WHO CC s are providing important support to Member States in building capacity in key areas related to health workforce. It was agreed that future work should adopt a health system approach, aligning the health workforce to the service needs and effectively using the health governance and financing policy levers. Importance of building capacity of the public health workforce to create resilient health systems was recognized. The CCs are willing to engage with WHO and other CCs in joint activities. The WHO should continue to guide CCs on the evolving priorities in Member States. WHO CCs will continue to share their experiences and resource materials for the benefit and use of other Member States. 21
Way Forward Recommendations Continue the monthly GoToMeeting sessions of the WHO CC network to review progress and share experiences and achievements. Regularly share information with WHO CCs on matters that can influence and shape their performance. Review the Terms of Reference of WHO CCs at the time of re-designation to align with identified priorities of Member States. Facilitate and encourage joint activity amongst the WHO CCs working on different thematic areas to adopt a more consolidated approach to addressing health needs. Transition from a profession-specific approach to a broader health workforce approach to supporting and implementing activities in the Member States. 22
