A THREE-DAY MEETING FOR ELABORATING THE NNHM'S STRATEGIC PLAN
Bankya, August 19-21 2016
A three day strategic planning event was held by the National Network of Health Mediators Association in Bankya from Aug 19 to Aug 21 in order to improve its efficiency. Members of the NNHM Board, supporters, partners and Network experts, as well as 15 health mediators, selected at five local preparatory meetings and representing different regions, took part in the session.
Moderator of the meeting was Dr. Radosveta Stamenkova – Executive Director of BFPA, member of NNHM and health mediator trainer, who has experience on a national and international level in moderating strategic planning processes.
In these three days we discussed values, vision, mission, aims and tasks for short- and long-term NNHM activities in the 2016-2020 time period.
One of the results of this meeting was the elaboration of a moto “NNHM: Change goes inside out”.
In order to increase the effectiveness of the work of the health mediators at the end of 2015 NNHM elaborated and implemented a new reporting format for health mediator activities. At the regional meetings at the end of 2015 and beginning of 2016 all HM were acquainted with the new format. In April, May and June 2016 they used it for reporting their activities. At this three day meeting, with the assistance of Prof. Maia Grekova, the mistakes and omissions in filling out the report forms were discussed. The Network experts with the help of all health mediators will continue to work for improving, implementing and applying the new reporting form.
