MMI Network: key issues and network topics

In close consultation with its member organisations the MMI Network determined the following topics as key issues for the coming years for the exchange of know-how and the development of common projects and positions: 

• Strategic positioning
  Discussing the future of private not-for-profit (PNFP) health services
• Human resources for health
  Strategies to keep competent and motivated staff available
• Appropriate technology
  Bridging the appropriate technology gap in basic health care

Other Network Topics

Except the three common key issues of the MMI Network, our ePlatform provides insight into many other topics, all of them seen from a point of view of non-governmental organistions (NGOs) and private not-for-profit (PNFP) health care institutions, and all of them focusing on key areas of work of the Network members and partners and on political, strategical and management issues as well as on concrete tools and resources to improve health care delivery.

The following list of network topics gives you a first idea of what could be the "thematic working groups" within the MMI Network.
