DaCT team

• Who determines SSCSiPs role and activities? SRG

• Poor Communication Strategy

• More engagement with countries

• SSCSiP regional vs national role

SSCSiP Activities• The majority of requests capacity building vs health

systems strengthening (screening data, patient outcome data, coordination)

• What is a specialized clinical activity? Specialization vs sub-specialization vs multi skilled (FSM ophthalmology)

• Co-funding: What effort has been shown by those making the request? Influencing the agenda and participation

SSCSiP Activities• Emergency or fill in the gaps: Evidence of a

longer term solution (locums, scholarships)

• Conference / workshop shopping highlights the absence of an individual career path or a HRH plan. (Regional Technical Clinical Meeting, Nadi, April 2012)
