Frontline health workers - most of whom are women - should be recognized and celebrated for the critical work they do. Wonderful effort by @RoopaDhatt and her team. 👏🏽👏🏽 #WD2023
Congratulations to the 2023 #HeroinesofHealth! ✨
📣Global leaders, let's respond to their call to action in supporting women health workers.

As a first-generation immigrant to the U.S. with close connections to her family’s country of origin, @ShumaPanse was skeptical the #BlueMarbleQuiz would capture her own life experiences and the value of global learning. She was pleasantly surprised.🌍 https://t.co/BeL3Ph58cE
“It’s not just that Costa Rica has surpassed America’s life expectancy while spending less on health care as a percentage of income; it actually spends less than the world average.” Great piece of #globallearning from @Atul_Gawande
My newest investigation -- on how Costa Rica's commitment to public health has given its people a life expectancy among the longest in all of the Americas. https://t.co/zXysgt7vWS
