In Cameroon and across Africa, the fight against malaria starts at home — and community health workers are leading the charge. 🌍 They are the critical link between innovation & impact, bringing lifesaving tools & education straight to families. #WorldHealthDay #HealthWorkerWeek

Today is #WorldHealthDay! Health workers, such as nurses, primary care physicians, pharmacists and community health workers, are on the frontlines of delivering an equitable response to NCDs and building strong health systems. Learn about how @novonordiskfond and @eancdalliance are transforming health worker education to support integrated, patient-centred NCD prevention and care here: pulse.ly/rsvmpou5pr #HealthWorkerWeek #WHWWeek #ActOnNCDs

While facing a growing burden of NCDs, many low- and middle-income countries are struggling with a shortage of health staff. In addition, health workers often lack the necessary skills to address the rising tide of NCDs. ✨To respond to these challenges, Novo Nordisk and East Africa NCD Alliance are supporting the transformation of the education of health professionals for integrated people-centred and efficient NCD prevention & care. Find out more about their work and impact in a new blog by Mette Ide Davidsen, Harriet Beatrice Abeda, and Cassious David. 🗨️"By joining forces at the regional and global level, we can help to ensure that health workers in LMICs have the competencies necessary to manage the growing burden of NCDs." 👉 pulse.ly/c0a1itziql #HealthWorkerWeek #ActOnNCDs #WHWWeek #healthworkers

This #HealthWorkerWeek, we celebrate the dedication, resilience and compassion of healthcare workers especially our network healthcare providers who tirelessly serve our communities. Your commitment to providing inclusive, quality and rights-based care makes a difference every day especially for women, girls and vulnerable and marginalized populations. We honor your work and call for continued investments in equitable healthcare, improved working conditions and policies that support the well-being of frontline health workers. Your care saves lives and your advocacy creates change. Thank you for all that you do! @Omolloh #RHNKImpact #RHNK4SRHR

📢 This #HealthWorkerWeek, we celebrate health workers’ vital role in gender equality and women-centered care amid global SRHR rollbacks. Yet, many—especially midwives—face pay gaps and limited power. It’s time to demand dignity, equity, and autonomy for them all.

Safe and Supported: Invest in Health Workers On #FrontlineFriday, and as World Health Workers Week took place last week, I join and endorse the Frontline Health Workers Coalition @FHWCoalition in validating their continued mission to bring together advocates, health workers, leaders, and communities around the world to call for greater funding and faster implementation of commitments to protect and support health workers, especially in translating policies and promises into long-term investments for the health workforce and systems, as doing so not only strengthens the health of our nation, but yields additional developmental benefits. The @wellbeingafrica Foundation amplifies and actualises safely supporting frontline health workers as the backbone of resilient health systems, as our #WBFA and #NANNMS midwives, nurses, and community health workers, deliver primary care, essential immunisations, prevent epidemics, manage chronic disease, reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases and respond to climate change, amongst more, through health, social and behaviour change frontline programmatic community engagement. The global shortage of health workers is a threat to reaching #UHC, and the @WHO predicts a shortage of at least 10 million health workers by 2030, with Africa bearing nearly 50% of the shortage. Therefore, core to the WBFA mission is to ensure all health workers are well-trained with the opportunity to upskill, are protected in their roles and rightly compensated, especially to mitigate brain drain, so that our investments can reach #SDG targets. By advocating for the implementation of the @WHOAFRO Africa Health Workforce Investment Charter which will be launched this May at #WHA77, governments and partners can make concrete commitments with tangible goals, saving millions of lives. Each day at the Wellbeing Foundation Africa, skilled health workers provide promotive, preventive, curative and palliative health services in times of crisis and calm, making them key to #WellbeingforAll. 📸: @wellbeingafrica @UNFPA with the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, 2018 #WHWWeek #HealthWorkerWeek #SafeSupportedHealthWorkers
