HSG at the Global Forum on Human Resources for Health
The Fourth Global Forum on Human Resources for Health will be held in Dublin, Ireland, from 13-17 November 2017. Under the overarching theme of ‘Building the health workforce of the future’, there are four sub-themes:
- Aligning education and utilization of skills to optimize workforce performance
- Policies and planning for labour market transformation and employment for health
- Decent work, rights and responsibilities
- Moving forward: improving governance for effective implementation of the Global Strategy on HRH.
