 International Medical Corps and The Frontline Health Workers Coalition Present

A Congressional Briefing on:

THE GLOBAL FRONTLINE HEALTH WORKFORCE NEEDED

TO SAVE LIVES & RESPOND TO FUTURE THREATS

 Frontline health workers responding to the Ebola epidemic have rightly received high praise for their heroic efforts. Yet around the world, many countries lack the health workers, supplies and systems needed to ensure the health of their communities and countries—which, as we saw in West Africa, can have dramatic, global consequences. Please join International Medical Corps and the Frontline Health Workers Coalition - along with Representative Nita Lowey, Representative Ander Crenshaw, IntraHealth International, the ONE Campaign, CARE USA and Management Sciences for Health, for a congressional briefing to examine what’s required to ensure a robust frontline health workforce for the 21st Century.
