Workshop on school health services and referrals reform. Kyiv, Ukraine, 8-11 February 2011

To provide a better response to the health and developmental needs of young people, WHO/Europe has been supporting the Ministry of Health of Ukraine in the reorganization of school health services.

Participants of the workshops aimed to:

  • learn to review current national and international experience;
  • increase their understanding of competency and standards development principles and their relevance to school health services;
  • draft quality standards and indicators for reporting;
  • develop action plans for next steps; and
  • draft a proposal for a monitoring and evaluation framework, including the competencies, knowledge, skills and attitudes required of school health personnel to perform the new tasks.
