An appropriate stock of health and care workers prepared for future tasks is a key condition, but not sufficient, to respond to the crisis. The key challenge is retaining them in the right places while strengthening resilience and sustainability. These difficulties have intensified as the COVID-19 pandemic increased workloads and stress and worsened the mental health and wellbeing of health and care workers, notably, the vast majority of whom are women. The webinar discusses strategies and needs, considering different environments and stakeholders including the situation of young health professionals.
