Health Workforce
Investing in the health workforce is a pillar of accountability
From the experience of the global programmes of the American College of Cardiology (ACC), leadership on NCDs does not only come from the top down but already exists within communities. Community health workers, for example, are often the first and, sometimes the only, point of contact for many patients. Yet they are frequently asked to do more with less, without fair compensation, formal recognition. Learn how the ACC is working to change this and to support accountability following commitments made at last year’s HLM4 in a blog by Jennifer Bae and Kasey Fizer.
