Short description
(German)
The Professional Development System 2 (PDS2) project has now been running for more than a year and a half, and just over one year remains. Quoting from the Project Document, the main goal of PDS – Phase 2 is “to support and contribute to the improvement of quality health care for all Albanians.”It is important to prioritise the strategies and mechanisms needed to implement the project with this main goal, and not to confuse this overall goal with the mechanisms of its implementation through (i) a nationwide system for accreditation of CE-programs/activities for all categories of health professionals and (ii) a re-certification system for health professionals (physicians, pharmacists and dentists)”. In conclusion, it is the opinion of the consultants that the key priorities to enable future sustainability and effectiveness, among all the activities that are planned, is the development of the roles and responsibilities of the planned CE coordinators and the establishment of distance learning activities. The PDS2 project has laid excellent foundations, and this next phase should focus particularly on the infrastructure that will maximise sustainability, not simply to produce short-term results that cannot be sustained when the project ends.
