Health Systems Profile- Egypt Regional Health Systems Observatory- EMRO 5) Strategies to improve skills of health workforce Approaches for upgrading the skills of physicians and nurses include: Upgrading of the undergraduate curriculum to enhance knowledge and case management skills in assessment, diagnosis, advice treatment and follow-up of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality In Egypt. Enhancing in-services training, and orientation of new graduates during their preservice training; the MOHP introduced a two-week induction course for the new takleef physicians. Review of personnel licensing, certification and continued medical education practices. 6) Undergraduate training Undergraduate medical education − Improvement of curricula should be a MOHP and MOHE collaborative effort. Upgrading medical education should start with a review of the current curricula and of available evaluations. − The undergraduate medical curriculum will be substantially developed and comprehensively set to give a much stronger community orientation, and greater in-depth experience in providing clinical care and training in family health. Nursing education has been developed as follows − The current training for secondary nurses has been upgraded. − Currecula upgrading of the three grades of the technical secondary nursing schools has been achieved and also for some specialities in high technical institutes and this will be accompilished for the other specialities − Formulation of a high commetee , for revising and approval of the curricula . − A questionaire for evaluating the teaching roganisations is being prepared now to be submitted to the high commetee for approval before being applied to the technical secondary nursing school (256 in number) , and the high technical insititutes (12 in number) − A plan for training the new teaching staff in technical secondary schools and technicians in high technical insititutes on teaching methodes and technology skills is being prepared . − A new system for monitoring and evaluating the training programes being prepared now . − Programs in allied health professions (such as health economics and health management) will be developed and introduced at diploma or masters level. 7) In-service training A proposed new curriculum for in-service training should emphasize hands-on clinical skills, interpersonal counseling skills, community orientation and family health and other core skills that accompany the basic services provision. Charts and guidelines and standard training course modules will be a prerequisite for implementation of the inservice training. The training will require a resource of core trainers to conduct training of trainers courses in each governorate. It is recommended that the MOHP utilizes a clear job description for each post and establishes the training needs for each post, thereby determining the required curriculum for each training course. The style of training in the MOHP needs to move from a didactic style to a more facilitative – problem based approach. This will require an investment in Train the Trainer courses that have this practical based approach. 57
Health Systems Profile- Egypt Regional Health Systems Observatory- EMRO Training Centers need to be accredited on a regular basis to ensure standards of training are being maintained. Finally a cadre of fast tracked leaders of the future need to be identified and supported over a long-term period to realize the benefits of their training. 8) Licensing, certification and continued medical education The current policy of life-long licensing of health personnel upon graduation should be re-visited. Licensing renewal should be conditional to a minimum number of continued medical education hours per year. Strategies to improve conditions of employment Strategies to improve the conditions of employment within the health sector should include the following elements. Upgrading the physical working environment and the housing conditions for health personnel, especially in rural and remote areas. However, first it is recommended that research is undertaken on the actual take-up of these facilities by staff. Developing a career planning and development function in governmental and public organizations as a crucial factor for employee motivation. Building the human resource management function of the MOHP and parastatal institutions with special emphasis on recruitment, job analysis, motivation and performance achievement. Adoption of performance-based and productivity-based incentive systems for employee motivation. Adoption of annual employment contracts subject to renewal on condition of satisfactory performance. 9) Strategies to advocate for staff retention Strategies to advocate for staff retention should include the following elements. 58 The stipulation of a clearly defined job description for health team members at various levels (central, governorate, district, and FHU/FHC level).

The evolution of training practices to include distant learning, telemedicine, and unified curricula for programs targeting managerial and service provider’s activities. The expansion in the training-of-trainers programs at governorate level to build a core of trainers at governorate level.
