Amman amendment
The Executive Board of the World Health Organisation at its meeting in January 2009, formulated a draft resolution on “Primary health care, including health system strengthening”.
This is a very good document, but from The Network: Towards Unity for Health, we want to propose an amendment to point 1 (5):
"To train adequate numbers of health workers, including family physicians, primary care nurses and allied health professionals, to respond effectively to people's health needs and expectations through educational programs and continuous professional development and through high functioning multidisciplinary primary health care teams."
The draft resolution can be found here, under Amman Amendment.
May we ask you to contact urgently your ministry of health, and ask them, to introduce already now this amendment to WHO Headquarters in Geneva, so that it can be discusses at the World Health Assembly in May 2009.
