Country leaders & donors at #WHA76 must invest in health workers like Hudson in #Malawi to provide high-quality & responsive health services. And ensure supportive supervision, continuing education, & supplies they need. #ProtectInvestTogether

#TBT to a story I love about #midwives in Senegal. “I love helping people. Esp. women who have no job & no money. Seeing them get healthier is what drives me to get up in the morning.”

.@PowerUSAID points out the need to protect #HealthWorkers & 🌏shortage:
"Frontline workers can be exposed to harassment, violence, disease, & often lack basic protective gear they need to stay safe. @WHO reports 55 countries already face dangerous shortages of health workers."
📢"6 million women #HealthWorkers are either grossly underpaid or not paid at all. When you are providing lifesaving care there should be no such thing as working for free. This furthers gender inequality & makes it impossible to recruit & retain the workforce communities need."
