Health Workers Save Lives

In 2009, 8 million children died before they reached the age of 5. It doesn’t have to be this way. Health workers, properly supported and equipped, can prevent most child deaths. The world is short of more than 3.5 million health workers. They are the backbone of healthcare. Without them, millions of mothers and children have no one to diagnose illnesses, dispense treatment, assist at births or provide immunisation.
