Docteure Aster Shweaamare, coordinatrice de la thérapie antirétrovirale en Éthiopie, aide à superviser les soins contre le VIH prodigués à plus de 7 000 patients.
Elle a été témoin de l’épidémie de VIH en Éthiopie au moment où elle était la plus dévastatrice – ainsi que des progrès remarquables qui ont suivi. Aujourd’hui, au moins 96 % des bébés nés de mères séropositives au VIH ne sont pas contaminés par le virus. #WHWWeek

🩺 From 1–7 April, World Health Worker Week 2026 highlights a clear message: health workers are VIPs. Their contribution to health systems is indispensable, ensuring access to care, supporting prevention, and delivering life-saving interventions across all communities.
🏥 Health workers remain at the centre of resilient and sustainable health systems. At the same time, workforce shortages, uneven working conditions, and gaps between commitments and implementation continue to challenge health systems in Europe and globally.
💬 This year’s theme calls for renewed attention to the need to protect, support, and invest in the health workforce. Recognising health workers as VIPs means ensuring safe working environments, adequate training, fair remuneration, and long-term workforce planning.
🤝 Across its projects and activities, EHMA contributes to strengthening health management capacity and supporting evidence-informed approaches to workforce development. These efforts aim to inform policies that enable health professionals to deliver high-quality care in supportive and well-resourced settings.
đź“Ł World Health Worker Week also offers an opportunity to highlight the people behind health systems. Initiatives such as the VIP Health Worker Shout-Out campaign encourage individuals and organisations to recognise health workers who make a difference in their communities.
đź“Š As discussions continue on the future of health systems, this week serves as a reminder that sustained investment in the health workforce remains essential to achieving accessible, equitable, and resilient care for all.
