INTRODUCTION:

This report provides an update on the draft global strategy on human resources for health: workforce 2030, in three parts: first, the context for the strategy; second, current challenges and the solutions proposed within the strategy itself; and third, the consultative process that informed development of the strategy. The Executive Board at its 138th session considered an earlier version of this report together with a draft resolution.

CONCLUSION:

During the discussions, it was agreed that additional work would be carried out during the intersessional period in order to fine-tune both the draft strategy and the draft resolution.1 The present report has been amended to take account of additional inputs received from Member States subsequent to the Executive Board discussions.
