Connecting for innovation and impact for all in global health
World Health Worker Week 2025
April 1 - April 7
The world is facing a shortage of 11 million health workers by 2030. World Health Worker Week (#WHWWeek) highlights the importance of the health workforce – nurses, pharmacists, epidemiologists, doctors, community health workers, lab technicians, and their colleagues – the heart of global health. Led by the Frontline Health Workers Coalition, #WHWWeek calls for increased investment in all cadres of the health workforce and advocates for prioritizing human resources for health on the global agenda. It is an opportunity to highlight the crucial role that sustained leadership and long-term investments in the health workforce play in achieving resilient health systems and advancing development goals.
From April 1-7, join the Coalition and millions of leaders, health workers, advocates, policy makers, donors and citizens in raising awareness about the value of health workers and the need to invest in the heart of health. Make sure to use the hashtags #WHWWeek and #healthworkerssavelives.
