The ANMC leadership participated in the 2nd African Healthworkforce Investment Forum held in Accra, Ghana under the auspices of WHO AFRO.

The 3-day Forum was held under the theme “Africa’s Health Workforce, From Words to Action: Plan, Train and Retain”. The opening session was graced by Her Excellency, the Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the Hon. Minister of Ghana, Ghana’s Education Minister and Minister of Labour, Employmentand Jobs.

Within the 3-day period, Ministers of health, Directors of Public Services, High Commissioners from a number of African countries and the WHO Regional Director and his team shared insights on health workers’ migration trends, training capacities and retention strategies and policies that could retain health workers on the continent to safeguard the delivery of quality health services to Africa’s population.

Two important documents were launched during the Forum. These were “State of the health workforce in Africa 2026” and “Africa Health Workforce Agenda, 2026 - 2035”.

Reflections of many speakers at the Forum was that, it was about time words were put into action. Stronger commitment and the political will of nations was crucial in propeling health investment to the next level to sustain healthcare on the continent.
