[UHC2030 @UHC2030]

.@WHO estimates a shortfall of 11 million health workers, mostly in low- and lower-middle-income countries. To achieve #UniversalHealthCoverage, this global shortage must be addressed. #HealthWorkersSaveLives! Investing in their training and retention is key to equitable, quality health services.

Frontline community health workers provide lifesaving services like maternal health education and home visits, ensuring moms and babies are healthy and supported. Let's build a healthier future together. @CARE #WHWWeek #healthworkerssavelives #SheHealstheWorld

[RCI Caregiving @RCICaregiving]

This #WorldHealthWorkerWeek, we honor those bringing care closer to home. Health workers & family caregivers are partners in care—ensuring families can thrive while supporting those they care for. #WHWWeek #HealthWorkersSaveLives #CareCloserToHome https://t.co/sdlZYlPWeE

🩺 Tackling the #CancerWorkforce crisis means solving today’s problems and preparing for tomorrow’s.

But how is it affecting Europe���s young cancer professionals?
Let’s hear from those on the front lines.

[CHW Central @chwcentral]

Health workers can't provide sustainable care without protection, resources and support.

It is time advocacy turns into action!

We need strategic investment in the global health workforce.

Despite being the only health workers many in low-income countries will ever see, CHWs are still the most under-appreciated health workers.

To mark #WHWeek, here's a short history of CHWs.

#HealthWorkersSaveLives, and will do so in the future— If they're set up to succeed.

[UHC2030 @UHC2030]

#UniversalHealthCoverage is only possible when we protect and invest in those who deliver it. We join @womeninGH in urging leaders to address the global shortage and invest in their training and retention. #HealthWorkersSaveLives!

[UHC2030 @UHC2030]

#HealthWorkersSaveLives, but they need to be healthy to do so. When health and care workers face stress, quality of care declines. To achieve #HealthForAll, leaders must support their mental health and well-being with manageable workloads, safe workplaces, and access to mental health services.

@SmileTrain is proud to support @FHWCoalition this #WHWWeek. Health workers are the backbone of #globalhealth but many are unpaid, unprotected, and undervalued. It’s time to invest in them, close the gender pay gap, and build more equitable health systems. #healthworkerssavelives

[Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation @EGPAF]

Our work invests in the good future of this world.

Read how Vincent and other health workers are making a difference every day!

🚨 The #CancerWorkforce crisis is deepening inequalities.

While burnout is widespread, some regions and groups face harsher conditions.

We must act to ensure no professional—or patient—is left behind

#HealthWorkersSaveLives but shouldn’t risk their own.
COVID-19 exposed their vulnerability—from infection risk to lack of tests, paid leave, treatment & vaccines. To achieve #HealthForAll, leaders must strengthen the protection of health workers—especially women, who make up 67% of the workforce.

[UHC2030 @UHC2030]

#HealthWorkersSaveLives, and the majority of them are women! Yet, they hold only 25% of leadership roles.
To achieve #HealthForAll, leaders must:
✅ Increase women’s leadership
✅ Recognise, reduce and redistribute unpaid care work
✅ Ensure pay transparency and close the gender pay gap

Dr. Bernardita Gaspar has spent more than 20 years delivering care in some of the world’s toughest crises—from Haiti to Yemen. Now based in #Sudan, she leads lifesaving programs for communities in the midst of crisis. #HealthWorkersSaveLives https://t.co/MOIUEaWgb6

We have to think about the health workers in the communities!

EGPAF Country Director and pediatrician Edward Bitarakwate, explains why community health workers are the heart of global health and have a vital role to play.
