Improving Health Care Worker Wellbeing – Addressing system and human factors through science-informed approaches

Held on the sidelines of WHA79, this side event will examine health care worker wellbeing as a system-level responsibility, moving beyond individual resilience to focus on organizational culture, leadership, governance, duty of care, and culturally relevant mental health and psychosocial support.

The session will feature:

• Expert perspectives from Dr. Megan Call, University of Utah Health
• Expert perspectives from Kieren Barnes, International SOS
• Additional speakers to be confirmed
• Practical, evidence-based approaches to supporting frontline health workers, particularly in fragile and high-risk settings

The formal session runs from 4:00 to 5:30 PM, followed by networking drinks.
