Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) Manager Mr. Shunichiro Kurita participated in a panel discussion at WKC Forum 2022, which was hosted by WHO Kobe Centre and titled, “Reconsidering the Roles of Healthcare Professionals Who Support the Foundation of the Health Insurance System.”
Based on “The WHO Global Strategic Directions For Nursing And Midwifery (2021-2025) ” which was presented by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2021 (and translated into Japanese by the National Center for Global Health and Medicine in 2022), this forum was held with the goal of sharing best practices and case studies from responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been ongoing since 2020.
Among the four pillars of the Global Strategy Directions, namely education, jobs, leadership, and service delivery, Mr. Kurita focused on jobs. He discussed the need for work style reform for all healthcare professionals, the significant and growing roles of nursing professionals outside of healthcare institutions, the best ways of securing diverse financial resources for improving compensation for healthcare professionals, and the importance of fostering social consensus to do so.
Other speakers at the panel discussion are listed below.
