Tackling the health workforce crisis: Towards a European health workforce strategy

Many countries in the European Union (EU) are experiencing a health workforce crisis, which is straining the performance and resilience of health systems.

This strategy should include EU support for health workforce development, the alignment of the EU labour market with health system goals, and advance the review of the professional qualifications directive.
