.@DrTedros : The pandemic has reminded all of us of the heroic work that #healthworkers do every day.

Health workers account for an estimated 3% of the world’s population, but account for 14% of all infections with #COVID19. | via @WHO
.@DrTedros : One of WHO’s primary concerns has been to ensure #healthworkers have access to personal protective equipment.

We also advise that health workers should clean their hands regularly with an alcohol-based hand rub, or wash with soap and water. | via @WHO
.@DrTedros : New data from WHO and @UNICEF show that 1 in 4 health facilities globally lack basic water services. This puts #healthworkers and patients at risk from infections of all kinds, makes childbirth much less safe, and drives antimicrobial resistance. | via @WHO Image
.@DrTedros : We know that for every dollar invested in #handhygiene alone, there is a return of 15 dollars.

In other words, investing in water, sanitation and hygiene is not just the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do. | via @WHO
.@DrTedros : More than 1 billion students in almost every country have been impacted by school closures; and 1 in 6 young people worldwide have lost their jobs during the #COVID19 pandemic. | via @WHO
