BACKGROUND :

Co-organized by USAID and its Human resources for Health in 2030 Program (HRH2030), along with Chemonics International and the Frontline Health Workers Coalition, this innovative half-day side meeting will share tools, evidence, and lessons learned from around the world that have contributed to the strengthening of the health workforce—including from the private sector— to achieve high-performing health care that is accessible, accountable, affordable, and reliable to deliver health for all. Using the HRH2030 Health Worker Life Cycle approach, a human-centered approach to the health labor market framework, we will engage global experts from HRH2030/Chemonics, Living Goods, Nursing Now, USAID, the WHO, and Women in Global Health to discuss strategies for building, managing and optimizing the health workforce. The meeting will be structured in three engaging rounds of discussions, presentations and case studies, followed by an interactive tools marketplace. Contributors will focus on approaches that help to improve equity and reaching the poor as part of achieving PHC and UHC.
