The 2nd
Annual AAAH Conference, Beijing
The Second AAAH
Conference will be organized on 12-14 October, 2007 in Beijing, China. It
will be co-hosted by the Health Human
Resources Development Center of Ministry of Health, P.R.China (HHRDC) and the
AAAH. The theme of this year will be on “Health Workforce for Rural
Health and Primary Care”. All 15 AAAH member countries, representatives from other
countries in the region, international organizations and regional health
workforce alliances and platforms are invited to attend.
The goal of the Conference is to provide a
platform for the alliance members and global partners to closely work together
to formulate strategies to strengthen country capacity in the management and
development of HRH for rural health and primary health care.
Conference Objectives
The Conference has four
specific objectives:
1.To follow up on HRH
activities in member countries at the regional and global level after the 1st
conference held in 2006, and to review the progress the countries have made in
reaching the objectives established in “The AAAH Workplan 2007-2008”.
2.To identify the
challenges and constraints facing the development and management of rural HRH
and community health workers in the Asia-Pacific region, and to understand to
which extent those barriers could inhibit the regional progress toward the goal
of “equity health for all” and MDGs.
3.To share frameworks,
tools and experience on the development and implementation of national rural
HRH strategic plans as well as the achievements in promoting and supporting the
community health workers in the primary health care system in the member
countries and others.
4.To share experience generated from WHO and other
international agencies, platforms or alliance (eg. Global Health Workforce
Alliance, GHWA) on assisting the countries to accelerate the development of
rural HRH and the building of primary health care system.
