The COVID-19 pandemic magnified the importance of health workers, and leaders made unprecedented commitments to strengthen the workforce. These commitments are promising, but unless operationalized and funded, health workers will not receive gender-equitable support and women and girls will not see improvements in access to care. This session will bring together commitment makers to share frameworks for strengthening the health workforce and advocates to share successful accountability tactics. Participants will foster collective action to deliver quality and accessible care for women and girls.
