World Health Worker Week – Supporting and Safeguarding Health Workers Globally

April 3 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Organized by Project HOPE, Global Health Council, and the Frontline Health Workers Coalition

World Health Worker Week – Supporting and Safeguarding Health Workers Globally

April 3, 2024

RSVP

On April 3rd from 4-5:30 PM EST, Project HOPE, Global Health Council, and the Frontline Health Workers Coalition will be hosting an in-person and virtual event followed by a networking happy hour at the Historic Dacor Bacon House during World Health Worker Week (WHWW), the theme for which is Safe and Supported: Invest in Health Workers. 

Hear from globally recognized thought leaders on how frontline health workers are critical to the achievement of every global health goal and how the spaces where they work are increasingly targeted during conflict. Discussion will also focus on ways to further advance individual and institutional support for health workers throughout the health system. 

In 2023, the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition recorded a record high of nearly 2,000 attacks on health facilities and health workers. And only three months into this year, hundreds of health workers have already died. As a global community, we cannot risk becoming unmoved and unaffected by attacks on health workers. 

Join this important conversation in person or online.
