EURIPA was privileged to be invited to contribute to a WHO panel session during the Regional Meeting on Health and Care Workforce in Bucharest, Romania in March 2023. The meeting brought together a diverse group of over 200 key stakeholders working in the area of health and care workforce including representatives of the ministries of health, technical and academic experts, and multilateral partners. EURIPA was represented by John Wynn-Jones who participated in the Plenary session Panel discussion: Health and care workforce recruitment and retention: addressing the challenges of rural and remote areas.
John was subsequently invited on behalf of EURIPA to join a discussion at the EU Parliament in late April on Medical Deserts and Rural Desertification: A call to Action.
