The Fifth Global Forum on Human Resources for Health was held from 3 to 5 April 2023, during World Health Worker Week, under the theme of Protecting, safeguarding, and investing in the health and care workforce. Marking more than five years since the adoption of the Global Strategy on Human Resources for Health: Workforce 2030, the Forum provided updates on progress in its implementation and share evidence and experiences on workforce development, as well as opportunities for a post COVID-19 era that will inform the implementation of the Working for Health 2022-2030 Action Plan. Forum participants examined the required policy solutions, investments, and multi-sectoral partnerships to address health and care workforce challenges and advance health systems towards universal health coverage and health security. The outcomes of the Forum will inform the United Nations General Assembly’s High-Level Meeting on UHC in September 2023.
The Forum was intersectoral and engaged participation from a range of actors, including high-impact decision-makers, across education, finance, gender, health, labour/employment, and migration sectors. Over 70 hours of recordings are now available on the platform dedicated for the Forum.*
