Health professionals, educators, and policy-makers in the US and the Newly Independent States met in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and shared concerns on health workforce planning, access to care, and training. The International Conference on the Health Care Workforce for the 21st Century recognized the scope and interdependence of workforce strategies that must be employed to achieve health reform objectives in the new political system. Specific issues addressed in the conference include health workforce planning; interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary education; primary care, family medicine, and general practice; the supply of physicians; medical education; supply and role of nurses; assessing the competency of practitioners; continuing education and training; the role of professional organizations; accreditation; and international collaboration. Conclusions of the deliberations provide insight into present conditions, prospects for change and how future development assistance can most usefully be targeted.

Amid persistently high population growth rates in developing countries, people have questioned whether the recent change from a fertility-reduction oriented family planning program strategy to a reproductive health-oriented and meeting-unmet-needs based program of contraceptive services will slow the pace of fertility decline, exacerbating population problems and developmental issues in developing countries. The authors consider the question and suggest reorienting program strategy such that both the microlevel needs of couples and the macrolevel objective of fertility reduction are simultaneously and efficiently met. A birth-based approach to family planning program is proposed in which efforts will be made to identify all pregnant women and recently delivered mothers and provide services to them. This approach would comprise a key component of a reproductive health program. The authors empirically test the hypotheses that the unmet needs of contraception for birth spacing and limiting are relatively higher among recently delivered mothers than among all women of comparable age and parity, and that recently delivered mothers are self-selected for their higher fertility.
