Welcome to the Centre for Health Workforce Development (CHWD) at RAK Medical and Health Sciences University. As the pioneering institution in the UAE and the Eastern Mediterranean Region dedicated to health workforce development, we are driven by a vision to be a global leader in this crucial field.
At CHWD, we are committed to enhancing the health workforce through a science-based approach, generating evidence-driven solutions that address the multifaceted challenges in health workforce policy, planning, education, regulation, and management. Our mission is to support countries and institutions in developing interventions that build capacity at all levels—from systems to communities.
The establishment of our Centre reflects a profound recognition of the health workforce as a cornerstone of effective health systems and population well-being. In response to the urgent challenges highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic and other regional crises, our goal is to bridge gaps in knowledge and capacity, advancing a transformative agenda for health workforce development.
Guided by principles of professionalism, inclusiveness, and innovation, we strive to foster a dynamic and adaptive approach to addressing emerging health workforce needs. Our work encompasses a comprehensive agenda, including health workforce analysis, policy, education, and advocacy, all aimed at ensuring universal access to healthcare.
We are excited about the future and invite you to join us in our journey towards strengthening the health workforce and improving health outcomes across the region and beyond.
