Summit Overview:

Join us for an incredible two days focused on bringing together simulation thought leaders to tackle the most pressing issue for healthcare today. After nearly four years of virtual events, the GNSH Board of Directors is excited to convene healthcare leaders, simulation experts and researchers, as well as corporate and industry leaders for the two and half-day 2023 Annual Summit in Dubai. 

The endemic phase of Covid has accelerated the global health human resource crisis. Shortages of healthcare workers have become a major obstacle to achieving universal access to quality healthcare. Healthcare systems have been left with a lack of trained and skilled health workers, inadequate distribution of healthcare professionals, and high rates of turnover and burnout. This crisis is especially prevalent in low- and middle-income countries, where access to healthcare is already limited. The shortage of healthcare workers has profound implications for healthcare delivery, healthcare outcomes, and global health security, and addressing this crisis is essential for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ensuring global health equity.

Our keynote will frame the problem and set the stage for in depth exploration of areas where simulation may offer solutions.

Summit Participant Objectives:
