International Cooperation in HRD: Strategies and Activities to Support Action Plans Francisco Campos Ministry of Health, Brazil
Ongoing efforts to tackle HRD in Brazil • > 30 years of pursuing steadily HRD since an Inter ministerial agreement (MOH-E-SS-W) was signed in mid 70s. PAHO (secretariat of this agreement). • Identified problems: Professional management of HR; Lack of Technical Personal (sand clock image) and Gap between academic development and health services needs. • Achievements: • CADRHU (Specialization in HRD commissioned by MOH and developed by a network of academic institutions). Advanced Courses reached >3000 professionals • PROFAE: 300K auxiliary educated and technical nurses in 40 technical schools. • Ongoing efforts to bridge the gap between academia and services.
HRD matters (beyond insiders!) • 26000 HFT covering so far 60% of the Brazilian population (100M people). There is a political decision to increase coverage. • Inappropriate education leads to inadequate practices. • Precarious work leads to high turn-over rates, jeopardizing continuity and professional responsibility.
Brazilian Network of Observatories’ role • Network: 18 nodes, diverse (thematic area, size, institutional links) but all of them closely tied to the mission • Double-Way Partnership: MOH commits 2M US /year to support and counts on them. • Most of the proposed policies are based on evidences generated by the Network of HRH Observatories.
International Expertise - Technical Agreement (TC41) mainstreams: • Is set aside and is an intersection between PAHO’s typical national technical cooperation in HR (MOH funded, 50M$) and international interfaces such as: • Inter sectoral approach to build SUS in Brazil, such as urban and regional development; environmental issues and health; health and diplomatic affairs; and so on • Networking: specialization, management of health systems; technical education and management and research
Case Box: International Course in HRD • Partnership that encompass 21 professionals (health services, academia leaders and profession’s regulators) from 6 countries. MOH provides financial support (300k US). • Target: HRD managers and educators in the Andean Countries and Amazonian Brazilian States. • It has been na outstanding experience in setting cooperation in previous politically tense relationships.
