Expert Workshop on wage policies

Made from 3 to 5 December in San Jose, Costa Rica the "Workshop on wage policies: its role as a tool for improvement in the provision of health services" as part of the efforts in the Region of the Americas to advance desprecarización processes and ensure proper working conditions for health workers. It is considered very important initiatives to ensure job security and pay the right conditions.

In this sense it has assisted countries in developing health career initiatives to ensure job security, staff development and the quality of services in line with the model of care and the development of health systems.

Beyond ethical considerations about the health work, the salary is the center of trade relations between the professional, technical and general health workers with health organizations.

All persons within healthcare organizations offer their time and strength and in return receive money, which represents the exchange of an equivalence between reciprocal rights and responsibilities between the employee and the employer.

The purpose of this first meeting of experts was a first approximation and systematization of the situation at the regional level as a basis for establishing a technical cooperation agenda.
