We cordially welcome everyone to the 12th ICOH Occupational
Health for Health Workers Scientific Committee (SCOHHW) onference to be held on
October
24-27, 2023 in New York City.
The
world needs 7 million more health workers to meet the current demands, and a
shortfall of 13 million health workers is projected by 2030, mostly in low- and lower-middle income countries. In
a post-pandemic era when Occupational Health has been placed front and center in the global setting, it is our responsibility to express and analyze the lessons learned, the current situation of essential work and essential workers, and the future of decent
work for health workers. Please
join us in the iconic New York Academy of Medicine where this year's theme will be "Occupational Health for Vulnerable Health Workers".
The
day prior to the conference (10/24/23) we will also be hosting a full day conference "Global Perspective on Occupational Health for Health Workers, comprising 3 consecutive panel presentations and
discussions organized by WHO, ILO and IOM (International Organization for Migration).
Previous
SCOHHW conferences have had great success, and
we are working to keep the tradition of outstanding academics, evidence-based science, scientific translation and implementation to promote policy and a preventive culture to protect the health and lives of health workers globally. There will be social activities
where you can meet and exchange information with our International Colleagues. The event will be a joint effort with the ICOH SC of Women, Health and Work
