Frontline health workers are the backbone of resilient health systems, providing critical care, saving lives, and preventing the spread of global health threats. In the final days of the 118th Congress, we're calling for action to invest in frontline health workers worldwide. 💡 Why it matters: Lives saved: Health workers are the first line of defense against diseases like malaria, HIV, and Ebola. Economic growth: A $1 investment can yield a $10 return. Global security: Strong health systems help prevent pandemics and stabilize nations. ✅ Congress must: Pass House Resolution 389 to recognize the vital contributions of health workers. Approve key funding in the FY25 Appropriations bill to support recruitment, training, and fair pay for these essential professionals. 🩺 Together, we can ensure resilient health systems for healthier, safer communities everywhere. https://ow.ly/atGw50Upca2 Project HOPE, Seed Global Health, AMREF, Frontline Health Workers Coalition, Action Against Hunger | ACF-USA, American College of Surgeons, CORE Group, FHI 360, GAIA Global Health, The G4 Alliance, Global Health Council, Management Sciences for Health, Medical Impact, Operation Smile, Partners In Health, Pathfinder International, ReSurge International, RTI International, Treatment Action Group (TAG), UNICEF USA, WaterAid America
