Romania’s 2025 guide for health workforce attraction and retention
BACKGROUND: Romania's health system faces a challenge of health workforce maldistribution, especially in rural and non-university urban areas. A national policy reform was launched in 2024-2025, supported by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan and WHO technical assistance. The reform's objective was to equip and empower local authorities to improve the recruitment, retention, and motivation of health professionals in their communities. REFO…
Health security needs a European health and care workforce strategy, and it needs it now
Europe is currently facing novel security threats in many different areas, reinforcing the need for a well prepared and protected health and care workforce to ensure health system resilience and service provision for the population under conditions of a poly-crisis. However, the health and care workforce is weakened by persisting shortages, competency gaps and mismatches, and poor working and mental health conditions. Health and care workers are …

Global health and care worker migration requires a global response
The global migration of the health and care workforce (HCWF) has intensified, leading to complex policy scenarios and diverse migration patterns. While the traditional narrative of individual health and care workers (HCWs) migrating from low- and middle-income countries to high-income countries in search of higher income, career prospects and working conditions remains relevant, it now coexists with many other drivers, incentives, and dynamics at…
Promoting, scaling up and sustaining integrated care initiatives to become system level transformations
Background and purpose: In 2022, WHO Europe published a policy brief, ""Rebuilding for sustainability and resilience: strengthening the integrated delivery of long-term care in the European Region"", that outlined a conceptual framework for integrated long-term care in the European region that enables greater resilience of long-term care. This brief highlighted the necessity of strengthening care systems through better integration as a means for …
Assessing capacities and resilience of health services during the Covid-19 pandemic
This article is part of the Research Topic: 'Health Systems Recovery in the Context of COVID-19 and Protracted Conflict.' Problem: Many countries lacked rapid and nimble data systems to track health service capacities to respond to COVID-19. They struggled to assess and monitor rapidly evolving service disruptions, health workforce capacities, health products availability, community needs and perspectives, and mitigation responses to maintain ess…
Healthcare Access and Quality Index based on mortality from causes amenable to personal health care in 195 countries and territories, 1990–2015
BACKGROUND: National levels of personal health-care access and quality can be approximated by measuring mortality rates from causes that should not be fatal in the presence of effective medical care (ie, amenable mortality). Previous analyses of mortality amenable to health care only focused on high-income countries and faced several methodological challenges. In the present analysis, we use the highly standardised cause of death and risk factor …
How to Integrate HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health Services in Namibia, the Epako Clinic Case Study
Our study shows that HIV and SRH services can be effectively integrated by following the person-centred integrated model. Based on the Namibian experience on "how" to integrate health services and the "process" to achieve it, other African countries can replicate the model to move away from the silo approach and contribute to the achievement of Universal Health Coverage
Measuring the health-related Sustainable Development Goals in 188 countries
BACKGROUND: In September, 2015, the UN General Assembly established the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs specify 17 universal goals, 169 targets, and 230 indicators leading up to 2030. We provide an analysis of 33 health-related SDG indicators based on the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015). METHODS: We applied statistical methods to systematically compiled data to estimate the performance of…
