World Health Worker Week is an opportunity to mobilize communities, partners, and policymakers in support of health workers in your community and around the world. It is a time to celebrate the amazing work that they do and it is a time to raise awareness to the challenges they face every day. Perhaps most importantly, it is an opportunity to fill in the gaps in the health workforce by calling those in power to ensure that health workers have the training, supplies and support they need to do their jobs effectively.
Check the FHWC Blog throughout the week to read powerful stories about frontline health workers and the impacts they have in their communities.
We want to hear your reasons for why health workers matter. Print out this template, write down your reason, take a picture and share it with us and on social media. Encourage others to do the same!
Download a copy of the social media calendar, including shareable graphics!
We will be posting about health workers and strengthening the global health workforce during WHWWeek on our Twitter and Facebook, and encourage members to tweet, blog, and share insights to help build this conversation.
