Dear Ms Ohov,
Request for nomination of representative (s) to the WHO Europe Regional Meeting on Health and Care
Workforce, March 22-23, Bucharest, Romania
To advance health and care workforce priorities as laid out in the newly launched WHO Europe regional report
“Health and care workforce in Europe: time to act”, the WHO Regional Office for Europe is convening a
regional meeting in Bucharest, Romania on March 22-23, 2023.
The meeting will be opened by the WHO Regional Director for Europe, Dr Hans Kluge, and will bring together
a diverse group of key stakeholders working in the area of health and care workforce including representatives
of the ministries of health, technical and academic experts, and multilateral partners. The focus of the meeting
will be to discuss core high-level regional health workforce priorities and identify concrete actions for countries
to advance their HCWF goals, notably:
1. Health workforce retention with emphasis on working conditions
2. Retention in rural and remote areas
3. Protecting mental health and well-being of health workers
4. Investing in health workforce development
In addition, a series of technical sessions will be organized to allow for more in-depth discussions and
exchanges on specific topics such as planning, migration, education and training, among others.
Nominations to the meeting
To ensure effective representation at the regional meeting, we are seeking nominations of two Ministry of
Health country representatives holding the following functions:
• One representative with strategic oversight of health workforce policies (e.g head/director/lead of a
health workforce unit)
• One representative with technical responsibilities for health workforce (e.g. officer in charge of health
workforce planning, design and implementation of health workforce policies and reforms)
In addition to the nominated representatives, please note that direct invitations to the meetings have been sent
to all the regional Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) and Government Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officers
(GCNMOs).
