World Health Organization - The economic power of health workers

Health workers don’t just treat sick people. They get people back to work and help economies to grow. In this short video, Suhaila Aboud, a clinical officer and counselling psychologist in Nairobi, Kenya describes how her work to ensure one patient took his medication enabled him to open a barber shop, provide for his family, and send his children to school.

Ahead of the High-Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth, this one-minute video snippet (in English and French) was produced to highlight the economic power of the health worker.

The video snippet was used on WHO social media – Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
