Health Workforce: The Dream Team for Sustainable Transformation

The design and capacities of the health workforce are major determinants in the quality of sexual and reproductive health care. This session will address the specific needs of the health workforce, including: optimizing the role of the midwife as the backbone of sexual and reproductive health services; encouraging and enabling collaboration among health-care professionals; and exploring the needs of policy and health infrastructure to support health-care for mothers and their newborns. This event will be convened by the International Confederation of Midwives and UNFPA.
