Health workers don’t just improve community wellbeing- they are active contributors to global GDP. Healthier communities mean a more robust, productive workforce and lessened absenteeism in schools and employees, thus protecting and supporting global economies. #WHWWeek #healthworkerssavelives (fb)

Women comprise approximately 70% of the health workforce and are responsible for more than 75% of unpaid healthcare labor. These women must be fairly compensated and given access to advancement opportunities, such as training and representation in leadership positions, so that they may provide for their families. #WHWWeek #healthworkerssavelives (fb)
