For World Health Worker Week, April 4 – 8, 2022, 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. 

Join us:

• April 5 at 9 AM ET: Health Workers Matter for Global Health Security: Here’s Why with Denis Ako-Arrey, Richard Greene (USAID), Margaret Odera (CHW in Kenya), Ahmed Ogwell Ouma (Africa CDC), and Janet Muriuki.  
• April 6 at 12:30 PM ET: After the Final Wave: Nurturing the Health Workforce We Need at the Skoll World Forum with Ibe Isael Martir, a community liaison for our HIV Care and Treatment Project.  
• Check out how to get involved in Frontline Health Workers Coalition events here.
• Participate in our community health worker video campaign. We’re asking community health workers and advocates to tell us what they need to build the health workforce back better. It’s easy to take part: read our short guidance and upload a video! We’ll share on social media and include health workers' asks in our future policy recommendations.
