By Carol Bales , Advocacy and policy communications manager, IntraHealth International April 18, 2019 World Health Worker Week was a time to educate lawmakers on the tremendous impact of frontline health workers. During World Health Worker Week 2019, frontline health workers and members of the Frontline Health Workers Coalition (FHWC) took to Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, to educate lawmakers and their staff on the tremendous impact frontline health workers have in their communities and to advocate for greater and more strategic investment in frontline health worker teams around the world to meet global health targets. Investment in frontline health workers—particularly in low- and middle-income countries with the least access to essential health services—can save more lives, jumpstart economic growth (especially among women) and ensure global health security. It’s a win-win-win.
