[PAHO/OWO] REGIONAL OBSERVATORY OF HUMAN RESOURCES FOR HEALTH (HRH)
OUR MISSION
The Observatory Network and its partners are committed to meet the critical needs facing our growing populations. The health workforce is the backbone of our health systems. We support a well-trained, well-distributed and motivated workforce that is committed and equipped to deliver quality care to all peoples.
WHAT IS THE OBSERVATORY?
The Regional Observatory of Human Resources for Health (HRH) is a cross-sector initiative among the countries of the Americas Region. The Observatory collaborators produce information and evidence to inform policy decisions and to improve health systems through health human resources development. The name “Observatory” must not be understood as a place or passive state of observation, but rather it is gathering of partners, stakeholders and governments around solid research, shared experiences, knowledge transfer, and advocacy.
As stated in the Toronto Call to Action, the Regional Observatory has committed a Decade of political will, technical cooperation, and financial resources to overcome the five critical challenges to health and human resources.
WHO ARE THE OBSERVATORY PARNTERS?
The partners and contributors to the Regional Observatory come from Ministries of health, education, labor, and finance, from universities and research institutes, from international organizations and donor agencies and from providers and users in health systems.
THE TORONTO CALL TO ACTION
Although each country of the Americas has its own unique concerns, there are five shared challenges to achieving an effective health workforce. The Toronto Call to Action defines those five challenges and the commitment of the Observatory to overcome these over the nex Decade.
