For World Health Worker Week, April 5 – 9, 2021, we're joining the Frontline Health Workers Coalition to put a spotlight on health workers and call on policymakers to listen to them. Health workers know best what they need to be safer, healthier, and more prepared to end the COVID-19 pandemic, prevent future disease outbreaks, and ensure access to essential services for their communities.

Help us amplify the voices of frontline health workers and their recommendations throughout the week and urge the US government—as well as other countries and donors—to take recommended actions to better support and protect health workers now during the pandemic and long-term.
