7TH NATIONAL HUMAN RESOURCES FOR HEALTH POLICY AND RESEARCH FORUM

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III, during the 7th National Human Resources for Health Policy and Research Forum, stresses the need to build a stronger workforce by harmonizing and implementing policies aimed at improving better health outcomes. This year’s theme, “Keeping Momentum Accelerating Progress Towards Sustainable Human Resources for Health for National Development and Universal Health Care,” underscores the importance of human resources as a critical element in the health system because health workers are agents of health. The said forum is also another venue to open discussion for directions, challenges, and policies to further improve national productivity.
