Dear Ms Ohov,
Request for nomination of a national focal point for the Situational Analysis of the Hospital
Sector in the WHO European Region survey
Please accept my compliments and allow me to request your assistance in identifying an expert in the
field of hospital policies in your country who can be in direct contact with WHO and responsible for
providing answers to the WHO survey on a situational analysis of the hospital sector in the European
region that will be conducted in November 2022.
As part of the WHO Regional Office for Europe's efforts to support the implementation of the
Universal Health Coverage (UHC) across the Region, a programme for hospitals has been established
in 2021 to ensure the integration of health services across the continuum of care and that care is
provided in the most appropriate settings organized around the wide-ranging needs and expectations
of people and communities.
The first expert meeting related to the future of hospitals in the WHO European Region took place in
Brussels in April 2022 to inform the WHO approach in supporting countries in the development of
policy, dissemination of learning and advocating change as well as identifying opportunities to work
with partner organizations in promoting the hospitals of the future agenda.
One of the main outcomes of the Brussels meeting has been the request to convene a high-level
regional meeting in April 2023 in Baku, Azerbaijan that will bring together country representatives,
front-line health workers, policy makers and international experts. The goal of the meeting will be to
discuss the current situation, identify specific challenges and outlook as well as to discuss country-
specific work, alongside the areas where WHO support will be needed.
To prepare for the regional meeting, an up-to-date information regarding the hospital sector and
different components/functions of hospital planning and management of all countries in the Region is
desirable.
As such WHO Regional Office for Europe is collecting and compiling information regarding state of
affairs in hospitals in the European Region through a brief survey as a means to inform the regional

meeting. The survey will cover several areas of hospital planning, their role in the health care system,
development, governance, management and reform. The survey responses will be presented at the
regional meeting and serve as the foundation for the discussions and future WHO Regional Office for
Europe activities on hospitals.
For any clarifications, a service desk has been put in place to respond to any questions that may arise
(for any queries please contact Dr Mafaten Chaouali, Technical Officer, Hospitals, WHO Regional
Office for Europe at
[email protected] )
I would be grateful if you could share the contact details (name, functional title, and email address) of
the nominated expert, by 17 October 2022.
Sincerely yours,
Natasha Azzopardi Muscat,
Director
Division of Country Health Policies and Systems
