Background
The Asia-Pacific Action Alliance on Human Resources for Health (AAAH), Ministry of Health Vietnam and the World Health Organization (WHO) are organizing a joint conference between 23-25th November 2009, in Hanoi, Vietnam, with the theme of “Getting committed health workers to the underserved areas: a challenge for the health systems”. The conference will host both the 4th AAAH annual meeting and the 3rd meeting of the WHO expert group on “increasing access to health workers in remote and rural areas through improved retention”.
Aims of the conference
The Conference aims to gain an in-depth understanding of the current situation and strategies to tackle the problems of inequitable distribution of health workforces, especially those in the underserved areas. It will also discuss and refine a set of draft global recommendations, initiated by WHO, to support countries in formulating and implementing appropriate, comprehensive and feasible interventions to get committed health workers to underserved areas. This conference will also allow more intensive networking and capacity building of institutes and researchers and policy makers interested in the area of human resources for health.
