Training_workshop_for_PHC_programme_managers14 August 2018 – WHO, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health of Libya, is conducting a one week training workshop from 13 to 17 August 2018 for Ministry of Health primary health care (PHC) programme managers who work at various level of the health system in Libya. The workshop is being funded by the United Kingdom's Department for International Development through the improving access to PHC services in Libya programme.

The workshop is being facilitated by internationally renowned experts from the Nuffield Centre for International Health and Development, Leeds Institute of Health Sciences, University of Leeds. The training will focus on improving the planning and management skills of programme managers who manage PHC programmes at central, regional and health facility level.

Investment in strengthening leadership and management capacity of Ministry of Health managers will assist in the restructuring of today’s fragmented facilities into a system of community-focused family health providers who are able to provide universal, equitable, high quality and economically sustainable care. Experience has shown that a strong and integrated PHC system has immense potential in meeting the new health challenges and in helping to reduce the financial burden of future needs and demands of growing populations.
