This document discusses integrating occupational health services into primary health care. It argues that while some countries have made progress expanding occupational health services, coverage remains low globally. Most workers, especially in informal sectors and small businesses, lack access to even basic services. The document calls for strengthening primary health care systems based on the principles of the 1978 Alma Ata Declaration, including providing universal access to essential health interventions and services. Integrating occupational health into primary care could help extend coverage of basic services to more workers and their communities through workplace and community-based delivery models.
The document outlines the agenda and process for the Alliance Healthcare Foundation's Listening & Funding Forum. The forum will include opportunities for community organizations to provide input to AHF on local needs and priorities. AHF will also present information on their grant opportunities, including Innovation Initiative grants, Mission Support grants, and Responsive grants. Attendees will learn about AHF's application, review, and funding decision process. The goal is to gather community feedback to inform AHF's funding strategies and better address the needs of vulnerable populations in their service areas.

The document discusses shifting the focus of primary care from episodic, disease-based care to holistic, patient-centered care that addresses social determinants of health like occupation and work. It outlines the large number of work-related injuries and illnesses in the U.S. each year and how integrating occupational health into primary care settings could help improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention for many patients. Barriers and opportunities for strengthening collaboration between occupational health and primary care professionals and institutions are also examined.
The document discusses integrating occupational health practices into primary health care in the Netherlands. Currently, the two systems are separate, with general practitioners providing primary care and company doctors providing occupational health services. The summary is:
1) There are advantages and disadvantages to the separate Dutch systems, such as GPs not being pressured to provide sick notes but also a lack of communication between the sectors.
2) The document proposes integrating company doctors into primary care to address issues like overlooking work-related causes of illness and providing a point of contact for those without regular occupational services.
3) Examples are given of clients successfully treated by a primary care company doctor by addressing both health and work-related issues. The integration could improve

This document summarizes Dr. Issa Said Al Shuaili's presentation on integrating occupational health services into primary health care in Oman. It discusses Oman's workforce demographics and existing occupational health regulations. It then outlines Oman's experience integrating occupational health into primary care through training primary care doctors, promoting health education in workplaces, and planning to attach doctors to workplaces. Finally, it identifies capacities needed like assessing local contexts, developing human resources, and establishing evaluation systems to support a people-centered occupational health model in primary care.
1. The role of primary care centers in workers' health is to provide prevention, treatment, disability assessment, and collaboration with occupational health specialists. Electronic health records and tools can help integrate occupational health data.
2. Strengthening collaboration requires training primary care and occupational health providers together, identifying stakeholders, and removing administrative and financial barriers.
3. Supporting workers' health involves empowering workers and communities through health education, ensuring access to occupational health services, and addressing legal issues. Involving workers and unions is important.

Round table 1 Occupational Health System in TanzaniaHealth and Labour
The document summarizes the occupational health system in Tanzania. It describes how occupational health services focus more on the formal sectors than the large informal sector. Majority of Tanzanians rely on out-of-pocket payments for healthcare as insurance schemes only cover a small portion working in formal sectors. The Ministry of Health is working to develop policies and strategies to improve coverage of occupational health services in the large informal sector workforce.
