4. Service Delivery and Regulation
WHO Strategic Direction Service Delivery: Midwives and nurses work to the full extent of their (regulation,) education and training in safe and supportive service delivery environments.
Our centre is a global leader in the WHO systematic review for regulation. We work closely with government to evaluate, develop and strengthen regional regulatory and accreditation systems to ensure they reflect the unique needs of individual country settings.
Having strong partnerships with local governments is deeply engrained in this work-area, as we believe that strong governance equals a strong workforce. Having robust, practical, locally relevant policy will enable governments to easily regulate the sector, providing a higher quality, consistent model of care for the population. Particularly, the policy priorities are to:
- Review and strengthen professional regulatory systems and support capacity building of regulators, where needed.
- Adapt workplaces to enable midwives and nurses to maximally contribute to service delivery in interdisciplinary health care teams.
