Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating and unprecedented impact on health and health systems globally leaving an indelible mark on health system infrastructures. The pandemic also clearly demonstrated the critical role of health workers for well-performing health systems, in particular during emergencies and have prompted the need to undergo a critical re-evaluation of health systems and health workforce design and implementation. As the year 2023 marks the halfway point of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable development, the time is pertinent for action by governments and partners to scale up the health workforce to advance towards sustainable developement goal (SDG) 3 on health and well-being and other health-related SDGs, building on the lessons from COVID-19. Therefore, at the 70^th session of World Health Organization Regional Committee for Eastern Mediterranean, Member States unanimously adopted a resolution to call for accelerated actions to address health workforce challenges through solidarity, alignment, and synergy of efforts in order to rebuild resilient health systems after the COVID-19 pandemic.

东地中海地区的卫生工作者队伍：从 COVID-19 的经验教训到行动。

COVID-19 大流行对全球卫生和卫生系统造成了前所未有的破坏性影响，给卫生系统的基础设施留下了不可磨灭的印记。这次大流行病还清楚地表明，卫生工作者对于运作良好的卫生系统，特别是在紧急情况下，发挥着至关重要的作用，并促使人们有必要对卫生系统和卫生工作者队伍的设计和实施进行一次重要的重新评估。2023 年是 2030 年可持续发展议程的中点，各国政府和合作伙伴应在吸取 COVID-19 经验教训的基础上采取行动，扩大卫生工作者队伍，推动实现关于健康和福祉的可持续发展目标（SDG）3 以及其他与卫生相关的可持续发展目标。因此，在世界卫生组织东地中海区域委员会第 70 届会议上，会员国一致通过了一项决议，呼吁加快行动，通过团结、协调和协同努力来应对卫生工作者队伍的挑战，以便在 COVID-19 大流行后重建具有复原力的卫生系统。

期刊介绍： Policy making and implementation, planning and management are widely recognized as central to effective health systems and services and to better health. Globalization, and the economic circumstances facing groups of countries worldwide, meanwhile present a great challenge for health planning and management. The aim of this quarterly journal is to offer a forum for publications which direct attention to major issues in health policy, planning and management. The intention is to maintain a balance between theory and practice, from a variety of disciplines, fields and perspectives. The Journal is explicitly international and multidisciplinary in scope and appeal: articles about policy, planning and management in countries at various stages of political, social, cultural and economic development are welcomed, as are those directed at the different levels (national, regional, local) of the health sector. Manuscripts are invited from a spectrum of different disciplines e.g., (the social sciences, management and medicine) as long as they advance our knowledge and understanding of the health sector. The Journal is therefore global, and eclectic.
