It’ll take a strong health workforce and solid health systems to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. It’ll also take commitment from strong partnerships across the globe.

That’s why you’ll find us at the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly this month working with policy-makers, global development experts, and decision-makers from around the world to invest in the health workers who can make these global goals a reality.

Come find us. Let’s find new ways to work together toward the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and make sure everyone everywhere has the health care they need to thrive.

Frontline Health Workers Coalition Twitter Chat

Theme: Bold Action for Frontline Health Workers Needed To Acheive SDG 3

IntraHealth and members of the Frontline Health Workers Coalition will cohost a conversation on Twitter in advance of the UN General Assembly (UNGA). To meet SDG3 and other global health compacts, urgent action is needed to increase investment in and focus on development of local, frontline health workforce teams in every community, especially in those with the least access to health services. From UNGA to the Conference on Primary Health Care in October and beyond, we must keep asking ourselves the question: What actions can we take to best enable health workforce teams to expand access to primary health services and reach universal health coverage? Join us and share your ideas and experiences.
