Abstract
In 2019, when Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of WHO, announced that he would establish the WHO Academy, it was already evident that WHO had to transform the education of the health workforce in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as WHO’s own ambitious triple billion targets. The WHO Academy was to revolutionize education and learning for health and to ensure that its evidence-based guidance reached front-line workers more efficiently and quickly so that knowledge could be translated into action to save lives and reduce disease and disability.
And then came the COVID-19, the greatest global crisis in a century, which affected every person living on the planet and which also disrupted systems for education in the health domain.
