World Health Worker Week: Leaders on the Line

Added on : 6 April 2020

By: Quality of Care Network Secretariat

During April 5-11, tell the world why we need more health workers who are well-prepared and equipped on the front lines. Join the Frontline Health Workers Coalition, the World Health Organization, and partners around the world to celebrate World Health Worker Week (WHWW) on social media under the theme, Leaders on the Line. This year’s theme highlights the importance of health worker leadership, the need to provide greater leadership opportunities for frontline health workers, and its impact on the front lines of care and the entire world. At the same time, this theme emphasizes how health workers often put themselves on the line, often at great personal risk to themselves and their families, to save and improve lives.

This is a time for advocates to point out the amazing work and potential of frontline health workers; highlight the challenges and risks they face; and mobilize countries, communities, donors, partners, and policymakers to make greater investments in frontline health workers worldwide.
