Global Tuberculosis Report 2022

by Public Health Update November 1, 2022
written by Public Health Update

Overview

The WHO Global Tuberculosis Report 2022 provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the TB epidemic, and of progress in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease, at global, regional and country levels. This is done in the context of global TB commitments, strategies and targets.

The 2022 edition of the report is as usual, based primarily on data gathered by WHO from national ministries of health in annual rounds of data collection. In 2022, 202 countries and territories with more than 99% of the world’s population and TB cases reported data.

Please note that direct comparisons between estimates of TB disease burden in the latest report and previous reports are not appropriate. The most recent time-series of estimates are published in this global TB report.

Highlights

  • TB case notifications: Big fall in 2020, partial recovery in 2021
  • Deaths caused by TB: Global increases in 2020 and 2021
  • Number of people developing TB: Global rise in 2021, years of decline reversed
  • TB deaths and incidence beyond 2021: Further worsening possible
  • Estimation of TB disease burden: New direct measurements needed

Top findings and messages in the 2022 report

  • The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a damaging impact on access to TB diagnosis and treatment and the burden of TB disease. Progress made in the years up to 2019 has slowed, stalled or reversed, and global TB targets are off track.
  • The most obvious and immediate impact was a large global drop in the reported number of people newly diagnosed with TB. From a peak of 7.1 million in 2019, this fell to 5.8 million in 2020 (–18%), back to the level last seen in 2012.
  • In 2021, there was a partial recovery, to 6.4 million (the level of 2016–2017). The three countries that accounted for most of the reduction in 2020 were India, Indonesia and the Philippines (67% of the global total).
  • They made partial recoveries in 2021, but still accounted for 60% of the global reduction compared with 2019. Other high TB burden countries with large relative year-to-year reductions (>20%) included Bangladesh (2020), Lesotho (2020 and 2021), Myanmar
  • (2020 and 2021), Mongolia (2021) and Viet Nam (2021).
  • Reductions in the reported number of people diagnosed with TB in 2020 and 2021 suggest that the number of people with undiagnosed and untreated TB has grown, resulting first in an increased number of TB deaths and more community transmission of infection and then, with some lag-time, increased numbers of people developing TB.
  • Globally, the estimated number of deaths from TB increased between 2019 and 2021, reversing years of decline between 2005 and 2019. In 2021, there were an estimated 1.4 million deaths among HIV-negative people (95% uncertainty interval [UI]: 1.3–1.5 million) and 187 000 deaths (95% UI: 158 000–218 000) among HIV-positive people,a for a combined total of 1.6 million.
  • This was up from best estimates of 1.5 million in 2020 and 1.4 million in 2019, and back to the level of 2017. The net reduction from 2015 to 2021 was 5.9%, about one sixth of the way to the first milestone of the WHO End TB Strategy.
  • An estimated 10.6 million people (95% UI: 9.9–11 million) fell ill with TB in 2021, an increase of 4.5% from 10.1 million (95% UI: 9.5–10.7 million) in 2020. The TB incidence rate (new cases per 100 000 population per year) rose by 3.6% between 2020 and 2021, reversing declines of about 2% per year for most of the previous 2 decades. The net reduction from 2015 to 2021 was 10%, only halfway to the first milestone of the End TB Strategy.
  • The burden of drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) is also estimated to have increased between 2020 and 2021, with 450 000 (95% UI: 399 000–501 000) new cases of rifampicinresistantb TB (RR TB) in 2021.
  • Estimating TB disease burden during the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult and relies heavily on country- and region-specific dynamic models for low- and middleincome countries (LMICs). New national populationbased surveys of TB disease and up-to-date cause-ofdeath data from national vital registration systems of high quality and coverage are needed for more accurate estimation in the wake of the pandemic.
  • Other negative impacts on TB during the COVID-19 pandemic include a fall between 2019 and 2020 in the number of people provided with treatment for RR-TB and multidrug resistant TB (MDR-TB) (–17%, from 181 533 to 150 469, about 1 in 3 of those in need), with a partial recovery (+7.5%) to 161 746 in 2021; and a decline in global spending on essential TB services (from US$ 6.0 billion in 2019 to US$ 5.4 billion in 2021, less than half of what is needed).
  • There is a strong and enduring relationship between TB incidence rates per capita and indicators of development such as average income and undernourishment. Economic and financial barriers can affect access to health care for TB diagnosis and completion of TB treatment; about half of TB patients and their households face catastrophic total costsc due to TB disease. Progress towards universal health coverage (UHC), better levels of social protection and multisectoral action on broader TB determinants are all essential to reduce the burden of TB disease.

There are some positive findings and success stories.

  • Globally, the success rate for people treated for TB in 2020 was 86%, the same level as 2019, suggesting that the quality of care was maintained in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • In the WHO African Region, the impact of COVIDrelated disruptions on the reported number of people newly diagnosed with TB was limited. There was a relatively small decrease (–2.3%) from 2019–2020 and an increase in 2021.
  • Following large falls in 2020, the reported number of people newly diagnosed with TB in 2021 recovered to 2019 levels (or beyond) in five high TB burden countries: Bangladesh, the Congo, Pakistan, Sierra Leone and Uganda.
  • The global number of people provided with TB preventive treatment recovered in 2021, to close to 2019 levels, and the global target for provision of treatment to people living with HIV was surpassed.
  • Three high TB burden countries have reached or passed the first milestones of the End TB Strategy for both reductions in TB incidence and TB deaths: Kenya (in 2018), the United Republic of Tanzania (in 2019) and Zambia (in 2021). Ethiopia is very close.
  • Intensified efforts backed by increased funding are urgently required to mitigate and reverse the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on TB. The need for action has become even more pressing in the context of war in Ukraine, ongoing conflicts in other parts of the world, a global energy crisis and associated risks to food security, which are likely to worsen some of the broader determinants of TB.

The World Health Organization (WHO) Noncommunicable Disease Department and the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research invite proposals for implementation research that addresses integrated service delivery for the prevention and management of NCDs in low- or middleincome countries (LMICs). This call is tailored to the needs of implementers in LMICs, to support their desire to conduct implementation research, to address implementation bottlenecks, and ultimately sustainably scale-up NCD care. The Principal Investigator (PI) must be a researcher based in a research institution in a LMIC. Priority will be given to countries engaged in existing capacity strengthening activities for NCD-related implementation research (Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Myanmar and Nepal). Other LMIC countries will be considered based on strength of proposal and funding opportunities.

This call is tailored to the needs of implementers in LMICs, to support their desire to conduct implementation research, to address implementation bottlenecks, and ultimately sustainably scale-up NCD care.

Scope: what areas are being considered?

Types of intervention:

  • Implementation of multiple interventions or service packages for priority NCDs (such as WHO PEN or HEARTS package);
  • Innovative (such as digital technology), municipal and communitybased solutions to address critical challenges and barriers of delivering NCD services;
  • Strengthening health systems and primary health care to provide NCD services;
  • Integrated services through people-centred primary health care approaches; Integration with other disease services (platform or programme) – such as mental health, HIV, TB, RMNCH, severe NCDs, or neglected tropic diseases – to maximize impact;
  • Effective models of care, including evolution and changing strategy to meet new priorities of the population and improve the performance of the health system; and
  • Projects targeting multiple sites/districts within one country, or including multiple countries.
    Project proposals should:
  • Contain an element of equity and resilience tailored to the essential health care needs of a post-COVID-19 environment;
  • Emphasize the engagement of research teams, service providers or clinical teams and local communities through implementation;
  • Show potential of generating policy to transform or change of health care practice; and
  • Include any technical assistance required to support the development of the research protocol or deliver the research project.

Timelines

The timeline for the activities for call for proposal is March 2023–March 2024. The eligible research teams from each country, once selected, have the option to receive mentoring and support through relevant partners in the WHO implementation research network.

Eligibility

The Global Hygiene Summit 2023

by Public Health Update October 27, 2022
written by Public Health Update

Overview

The world’s first Global Hygiene Summit intends to become the global meeting place for the diverse audiences involved in hygiene. Through the provision of greater context to this, currently, fragmentary field and through the development of clearly defined boundaries the Global Hygiene Summit will articulate the shape, scope and importance of the hygiene field, motivate multi-level and multi-disciplinary working by bridging epidemiology, behaviour and policy. In doing so it intends to gain consensus on how to effectively measure behavioural change (ROI), and economic impact and how to present this to engage policymakers. By establishing the need and basis for a holistic, co-ordinated approach the Global Hygiene Summit will create clarity around hygiene and the positive impact that could be gained in global health and societal outcomes. 

Established towards the end of 2020 with the mission of enabling and accelerating a portfolio of hygiene science to improve public health through better outcomes and behaviours the Reckitt Global Hygiene Institute (RGHI) will organize the world’s first Global Hygiene Summit in Singapore on 15th and 16th February 2023 and raise hygiene, and the role it plays in our health, up the public health agenda.

Summit Aims and Outputs

It will bring together scientists, politicians, the private sector and civil society to generate impact through the intersection between health and hygiene ~ which is vital to safeguarding the physical and economic wellbeing of populations worldwide, both amid COVID-19 and beyond.  

RGHI is focussed on plugging significant gaps in the health research space and improving access to information that will bridge epidemiology, public health, and behaviour change. The Global Hygiene Summit will align with this aim by informing the global health agenda stimulating discussion that could lead to the adoption of better and more sustainable hygienic practises globally.

In addition to these learnings, the Global Hygiene Summit 2023 will motivate the [Singapore] Declaration; a guide for structural change that will be brought about by co-discussion and global co-operation and set the agenda for future change.

Topics and Themes

The Global Hygiene Summit will consider three main topics:

  • What is Hygiene and what role can it play in improving public health?
  • The Global burden of preventable hygiene-related diseases
  • Synthesizing Lessons towards an Actionable Plan for Global Hygiene

These topics will be viewed, and debated through the perspective of the following themes:

  • Science
  • Practice
  • Policy

Delegate Registration

Registration for the Global Hygiene Summit 2023 is now open.

On registering you will be asked to create an account.

In addition to registering to attend the Summit, you will be able to choose breakout sessions, book accommodation, register for Partner Programme activities and request assistance with letters for visa applications.

Once registered, you will receive notifications when additional elements (such as confirmed breakout sessions or Partner Programme activities) become available to book.

The Global Hygiene Summit will have a limited number of opportunities for individuals wishing to be sponsored to attend the event.

Global Hygiene Summit 2023 Declaration
The Global Hygiene Summit intends to work towards actionable outcomes

To this end the Global Hygiene Summit 2023 will endorse the GHS Declaration; a guide for structural change, with commitments to improve hygiene behaviours and institute systems changes, which will be brought about by co-discussion and global co-operation and set the agenda for future change.

The Global status report on physical activity 2022

WHO highlights high cost of physical inactivity in first-ever global report

by Public Health Update October 27, 2022
written by Public Health Update

The Global status report on physical activity 2022

19 October 2022 News release Geneva

Almost 500 million people will develop heart disease, obesity, diabetes or other noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) attributable to physical inactivity, between 2020 and 2030, costing US$ 27 billion annually, if governments don’t take urgent action to encourage more physical activity among their populations.

The Global status report on physical activity 2022, published by the World Health Organization, measures the extent to which governments are implementing recommendations to increase physical activity across all ages and abilities.

Data from 194 countries show that overall, progress is slow and that countries need to accelerate the development and implementation of policies to increase levels of physical activity and thereby prevent disease and reduce burden on already overwhelmed health care systems.

  • Less than 50% of countries have a national physical activity policy, of which less than 40% are operational
  • Only 30% of countries have national physical activity guidelines for all age groups
  • While nearly all countries report a system for monitoring physical activity in adults, 75% of countries monitor physical activity among adolescents, and less than 30% monitor physical activity in children under 5 years
  • In policy areas that could encourage active and sustainable transport, only just over 40% of countries have road design standards that make walking and cycling safer.  

“We need more countries to scale up implementation of policies to support people to be more active through walking, cycling, sport, and other physical activity. The benefits are huge, not only for the physical and mental health of individuals, but also for societies, environments, and economies…” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, “We hope countries and partners will use this report to build more active, healthier, and fairer societies for all.”  

The economic burden of physical inactivity is significant and the cost of treating new cases of preventable non-communicable diseases (NCDs) will reach nearly US$ 300 billion by 2030, around US$ 27 billion annually.

Whilst national policies to tackle NCDs and physical inactivity have increased in recent years, currently 28% of policies are reported to be not funded or implemented. Considered a “best buy” for motivating populations to combat NCDs, the report showed that only just over 50% of countries ran a national communications campaign, or organised mass participation physical activity events in the last two years. The COVID-19 pandemic has not only stalled these initiatives, but it also affected other policy implementation which has widened inequities in access to and, opportunities for, engaging in physical activity for many communities.

To help countries increase physical activity, WHO’s Global action plan on physical activity 2018-2030 (GAPPA) sets out 20 policy recommendations – including policies to create safer roads to encourage more active transport, provide more programmes and opportunities for physical activity in key settings, such as childcare, schools, primary health care and the workplace. Today’s Global Status report assesses country progress against those recommendations, and shows that much more needs to be done.  One critical finding in the Global status report on physical activity is the existence of significant gaps in global data to track progress on important policy actions – such as provision of public open space, provision of walking and cycling infrastructure, provision of sport and physical education in schools. The report also calls for weaknesses in some existing data to also be addressed.   

“We are missing globally approved indicators to measure access to parks, cycle lanes, foot paths – even though we know that data do exist in some countries. Consequently, we cannot report or track the global provision of infrastructure that will facilitate increases in physical activity, “said Fiona Bull, Head of WHO Physical Activity Unit.  “It can be a vicious circle, no indicator and no data leads to no tracking and no accountability, and then too often, to no policy and no investment. What gets measured gets done, and we have some way to go to comprehensively and robustly track national actions on physical activity.”

The report calls for countries to prioritize physical activity as key to improving health and tackling NCDs, integrate physical activity into all relevant policies, and develop tools, guidance and training to improve implementation.

“It is good for public health and makes economic sense to promote more physical activity for everyone,” said Dr Ruediger Krech, Director Department of Health Promotion, WHO. “We need to facilitate inclusive programmes for physical activity for all and ensure people have easier access to them.  This report issues a clear call to all countries for stronger and accelerated action by all relevant stakeholders working better together to achieve the global target of a 15% reduction in the prevalence of physical inactivity by 2030.”

Data for the report are drawn from the WHO Noncommunicable Disease Country Capacity Survey (2019 and 2022) and the WHO Global status report on road safety (2018).

One Health Joint Plan of Action launched to address health threats to humans, animals, plants and environment

by Public Health Update October 17, 2022
written by Public Health Update

17 October 2022, News release, Geneva, Nairobi, Paris, Rome

Today, a new One Health Joint Plan of Action was launched by the Quadripartite – the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE).

This first joint plan on One Health aims to create a framework to integrate systems and capacity so that we can collectively better prevent, predict, detect, and respond to health threats. Ultimately, this initiative seeks to improve the health of humans, animals, plants, and the environment, while contributing to sustainable development.

The One Health Joint Plan of Action, developed through a participatory process, provides a set of activities that aim to strengthen collaboration, communication, capacity building, and coordination equally across all sectors responsible for addressing health concerns at the human-animal-plant-environment interface.

The One Health Joint Plan of Action (OH JPA)      

The five-year plan (2022-2026) focuses on supporting and expanding capacities in six areas: One Health capacities for health systems, emerging and re-emerging zoonotic epidemics, endemic zoonotic, neglected tropical and vector-borne diseases, food safety risks, antimicrobial resistance and the environment. 

This technical document is informed by evidence, best practices, and existing guidance. It covers a set of actions which endeavour to advance One Health at global, regional and national levels. These actions notably include the development of an upcoming implementation guidance for countries, international partners, and non-State actors such as civil society organizations, professional associations, academia and research institutions.

The plan sets out operational objectives, which include: providing a framework for collective and coordinated action to mainstream the One Health approach at all levels; providing upstream policy and legislative advice and technical assistance to help set national targets and priorities; and promoting multinational, multi-sector, multidisciplinary collaboration, learning and exchange of knowledge, solutions and technologies. It also fosters the values of cooperation and shared responsibility, multisectoral action and partnership, gender equity, and inclusiveness.

Why One Health?

One Health is the main approach for addressing the complex health challenges facing our society, such as ecosystem degradation, food system failures, infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance.

“Using a One Health lens that brings all relevant sectors together is critical to tackle global health threats, like monkeypox, COVID-19 and Ebola.” WOAH Director General Dr Monique Eloit highlights the need for enhanced disease prevention capacity in all sectors. “It all starts with ensuring the health of animals. Animal health is our health, it is everyone’s health.”

FAO Director-General QU Dongyu adds, “One Health should start from proper land management and stopping deforestation, which will help people and their animals in the surrounding environment. We need all sectors working closely together to identify and implement adaptation and mitigation measures.”    

UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen says that “Everyone has the right to a clean and healthy environment – the foundation of all life on Earth. The current pandemic unequivocally demonstrates that the degradation of nature is driving up health risks across the board.” Efforts by just one sector or specialty cannot prevent or eliminate infectious disease and other complex threats to One Health. She continued: “Vulnerable populations of all species, including the most poor and marginalized humans, bear the heaviest costs. The Joint Plan of Action will drive down health risks through an integrated approach to human, animal and environment health.”

 “It’s clear that a One Health approach must be central to our shared work to strengthen the world’s defences against epidemics and pandemics such as COVID-19. That’s why One Health is one of the guiding principles of the new international agreement for pandemic prevention, preparedness and response, which our Member States are now negotiating.” WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.

Building on existing structures and agreements, mechanisms for coordinated financing are under development to support the plan’s implementation. The Quadripartite will join forces to leverage the needed resources in support of the common approach to address critical health threats and promote the health of people, animals, plants and the environment.

World Sight Day (WSD)
Public HealthActivitiesPH Important DayPublic Health Update

World Sight Day 2022: LoveYourEyes

by Public Health Update October 13, 2022
written by Public Health Update

Overview

The World Sight Day (WSD) is an international day of awareness held every October (on the second Thursday) to focus attention on the global issue of eye health. World Sight Day is coordinated by the The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) and supported by almost 200 IAPB Member Organisations globally.

WSD is the focal advocacy and PR event for IAPB and its members and partners each year, highlighting the fact that at least 1 billion people have a vision impairment that could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed.

Objective

  • Raise public awareness of blindness and vision impairment as major international public health issues.
  • Influence Governments/Ministers of Health to participate in and designate funds for national blindness prevention
    programmes.
  • Educate target audiences about blindness prevention.

World Sight Day is our opportunity to:

  1. Help everyone understand the magnitude of the problem.
  2. Communicate that avoidable vision loss is a global challenge that we have the solutions for.
  3. Encourage everyone who can, to prioritise their own eye health.

World Sight Day 2022: LoveYourEyes

LoveYourEyes is a campaign that allows us all to promote eye health, the scale of the issue we face and the steps we can take to address it.

Vision Facts

  • Good vision improves health and well-being at all ages.
  • Majority of the eye diseases can be treated or their progression can be slowed significantly, if detected early.
  • Children with a vision impairment are up to five times less likely to be in formal education and often achieve poorer outcomes.
  • It is estimated that 40% of children are blind from eye conditions that could be managed if the child had access or prevented if the child had access to eye care services.
  • Globally, over 90 million children and adolescents have vision impairment or blindness.
  • Of the 1.1 billion people with vision loss, over 50% are female. Women are 40% less likely to utilise eye care services than men.
  • In some parts of the world, if girls are blind or significantly vision impaired it is almost impossible for them to access education.
  • 1.1 billion people experience vision loss primarily because they do not have access to eye health services when they need them, where they need them.
  • Over 90% of those with uncorrected vision loss live in low- and middle-income countries.
  • Unaddressed poor vision results in $411 billion in lost productivity each year.

Action for Equitable Health Systems- Advancing universal comprehensive primary health care in pandemic times

by Public Health Update October 12, 2022
written by Public Health Update

The Equitable Health Systems Thematic Circle of People’s Health Movement (PHM) along with PHM South Asia and PHM South East Asia Pacific Region, is organising a capacity building course (International People’s Health University, IPHU) on “Action for Equitable Health Systems- Advancing comprehensive primary health care in pandemic times”. Through this course we plan to build a better understanding among health activists of why health and healthcare is an entitlement of all human beings, and how this can be realized and of current best practices in this area. The course would also build skills for activists to analyse where they are on the road map and mobilize people as well as advocate with the government for an accelerated push towards Health For All.

The course is open to participants from selected countries in South Asia and South-East Asia and will be held in December 2022.  The course is designed as a hybrid program with an online component, an onsite face to face training program in Bangkok, Thailand which includes field visits and a post training mentored six month follow up. The dates for IPHU are-    

Online: Four sessions between November 15th and November 30th–

Session Time & Duration: Two hour session each day from 11:30 am – 2:30 pm (Indian Standard Time) / 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm (Philippines Standard Time).

On-Site Sessions in Bangkok, Thailand:  From December 6th morning to December 11th noon. (9.00 am to 1.00 pm, and 2.00 to 5.00 pm) Participants arrive by December 5th evening or late night to be able to attend in time for the session on December 6th.

Post-Training Follow up- back in home country with the PHM country circle. Two sessions of two hours each three months apart.

Below is the eligibility criteria for the application:

i. Participants must be from one of the following countries-

Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Pakistan,  Sri Lanka,  Thailand,   Indonesia,  Cambodia, Philippines, Malaysia , Myanmar and PNG

a. all pre-workshop online classes (8 hours)     ,      

b. On site in Thailand in the 2nd week of December.

c. Two post-workshop sessions

iii. Involvement with PHM country circle/ networks will be an advantage.

iv- must have a valid passport or be reasonably sure of securing it in time.

v- must have access to stable internet connection for on-line classes and later follow-up

Selection Process:

Interested candidates can apply via the Google Form . If there is a problem they can send the application by email (hsiphu2022@gmail.com). Applications are due on or before October 25th, 2022.

Applications will go through a screening process by a committee. The committee would go not only by individual’s suitability for the course but it would also ensure that the final set of participants is a balance of gender, nationalities, age, pre-existing engagement with People’s Health Movements and health rights campaigns. Candidates would be informed of selection by November 5th.      

Candidates who are active in PHM country circles or networks and are sponsored by these, will be prioritized / strongly preferred.

We request you to share the announcement widely with your networks in the South East Asia and Pacific and the South Asia region. Please feel free to write to (hsiphu2022@gmail.com) for any queries or difficulty on filling the application form.

World failing in ‘our duty of care’ to protect mental health and well-being of HCWs

World failing in ‘our duty of care’ to protect mental health and well-being of health and care workers, finds report on impact of COVID-19

5 October 2022 

Doha– A new report by the Qatar Foundation, World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) finds that at least a quarter of health and care workers surveyed reported anxiety, depression and burnout symptoms.  Our duty of care: A global call to action to protect the mental health of health and care workers examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of the health and care workforce and offers 10 policy actions as a framework for immediate follow-up by employers, organizations and policy-makers.

The report found that 23 to 46 percent of health and care workers reported symptoms of anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic and 20 to 37 percent experienced depressive symptoms. 

WHO and ILO call for new measures to tackle mental health issues at work (Guidelines on mental health at work)

Burnout among health and care workers during the pandemic ranged from 41 to 52 percent in pooled estimates. Women, young people and parents of dependent children were found to be at greater risk of psychological distress — significant considering that women make up 67 percent of the global health workforce and are subject to inequalities in the sector, such as unequal pay. The higher risk of negative mental health outcomes among younger health workers is also a concern.

“Well into the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, this report confirms that the levels of anxiety, stress and depression among health and care workers has become a ‘pandemic within a pandemic,’” said Jim Campbell, WHO Director of Health Workforce.

This report follows landmark decisions at the World Health Assembly and International Labour Conference in 2022 that reaffirmed the obligations of governments and employers to protect the workforce, ensure their rights and provide them with decent work in a safe and enabling practice environment that upholds their mental health and well-being. Protecting and safeguarding this workforce is also an investment in the continuity of essential public health services to make progress towards universal health coverage and global health security. 

“The increased pressure experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic has clearly had a detrimental impact on the health and well-being of health and care workers,” said Sultana Afdhal, Chief Executive Officer of WISH. “The pressure isn’t new, but COVID-19 has brought into sharp focus the need for better care for those who care for us. This new report sets out policy actions that promote strengthening health systems and calls for global collaboration across governments and healthcare employers to invest in safeguarding the most valuable asset that our health systems possess, which is the people working within them.”

The report highlights 10 policy actions as a framework for immediate uptake, such as investing in workplace environments and culture that prevent burnout, promote staff well-being, and support quality care. This includes the obligations and roles of governments and employers for occupational safety and health. 

WHO recently published recommendations for the effective interventions and approaches to support mental health at work, including those specifically for the health and care workforce, which call for organizational level changes that address working conditions and ensure confidential mental health care and support as a priority. Relevant to this framework, the WHO Global health and care worker compact provides technical guidance on how to protect health and care workers and safeguard their rights; it highlights that duty of care is a shared responsibility in every country.
