Strategy and policy

The overall strategy of the observatory is to provide a framework to formulate a general agenda and support an inter-institutional and intersectoral environment for the development of the Human Resources for Health (HRH) policies at the regional and national level, reinforcing the use of available information.

A transnational agenda of human resources issues is currently taking shape to ensure a comprehensive approach to HRH challenges. A perspective for the coming years would be the constitution of regional or subregional forums or policy dialogues on action fields and priority topics, such as inequities in the distribution of health personnel, international migration of health workers, homologation or accreditation of education programmes, among others.
