Projects and references

This project aims to improve the performance of Morocco’s health system in quantitative, qualitative and accessibility terms, in particular at the level of basic healthcare by ensuring the availability of a quality health service accessible to the most socially disadvantaged groups. The project focuses on three different pillars: (1) planning and forecasting human resources in the health sector; (2) building the management capacity of the human resource department at central level; (3) Regionalisation of Morocco’s human resource services.

The Programme to Support the Regionalisation, Deconcentration and Strengthening of Primary Health Care (REDRESS-P) aims to promote primary health care, and especially family medicine, by increasing the importance and role of family doctors as a major element of the referral system.
In this context, our support to the Ministry of Health will foster the development of genuine family medicine via three areas of intervention aiming to prepare: (i) the establishment of adapted clinical pathways, (ii) computerised management tools, and (iii) adequate training for doctors.     

Development of a detailed action plan for the decentralisation of radiotherapy and chemotherapy services within hospital health care:
(i) Detailed plans for the modernisation of hospital capacity
(ii) A comprehensive plan for staff training
(iii) Identification of opportunities for public-private partnership
(iv) Estimates of the costs for the infrastructure needed to modernise the hospitals in Balti and Cahul.

Taking into account the specific health context in Croatia, as well as its pre-accession status, the World Bank is co-funding the Development of Emergency Medical Services and Investment Planning Project (DEMSIPP). The objectives of this Project are twofold: to support the reform of the Emergency Medical System (EMS) in line with European standards, and to provide capacity building to the Ministry of Health (MoH) in developing and managing strategic plans. The Hospital Master Planning (HMP) Project is intended to support the MoH to achieve these two related objectives of the DEMSIPP. When the HMP Project is completed, it will allow the authorities to have a better understanding of the health system in the country, and to develop a strategy for restructuring the current health care provider network towards a system that will better respond to the needs of the population of Croatia.

The global objective of this assignment is to support the ability of the Ministry of Health to make strategic decisions and policies regarding human resources in the health care sector, with the aim of securing a sustainable, quality health care system in Croatia.
The Strategic Plan for Human Resource Development in Health Care should ultimately help achieve a more efficient, equitable and sustainable health care system.
