World Health Assembly Week of Action
WHO's #ApplauseIsNotEnough rallying cry has brought the world’s attention to the fact that we have a moral and practical obligation to care for health and care workers who continue to make personal sacrifices to deliver the best care they can, often in challenging environments.
To support the WHO’s efforts, IntraHealth is joining other Act for Health Workers campaign partners—Seed Global Health, Frontline Health Workers Coalition (FHWC), the G4 Alliance, and Smile Train—to host a Week of Action on social media, May 24 to June 1, 2021. This week-long effort builds on the FHWC’s Policy Recommendations for Sustainable Health Workforce Teams and highlights urgent actions world leaders, governments, policymakers, funders, and civil society must take to support the health of health and care workers.
Join the conversation and raise your voice for health and care workers. #ActForHealthWorkers
