The government launched Universal Health Coverage (UHC) with big speeches and ribbon-cutting, but the very healthcare workers making it work are underpaid, overworked, and ignored.

I wish to draw the attention of the Hon'ble Minister of Health and Family Welfare to the plight of accredited social activists, or ASHA workers, who are the unsung heroes of India's healthcare system. ASHA workers have played an instrumental role in improving maternal and child health, increasing immunization rates, and raising awareness about nutrition and sanitation. Their contributions are especially crucial during the Covid-19 pandemic, where they played a frontline role in the healthcare response. Despite being overburdened with responsibilities and working 12-14 hours a day, they are still classified as volunteers, and they receive meagre honorariums and incentives, which are often delayed, leaving them and their families struggling financially. In Kerala, ASHA workers only earn ₹7000 a month, and the government hasn't paid them for months. They have staged nationwide protests over the years demanding official employee status, payment of arrears, better working conditions, retirement benefits, and access to mental and social security services. Their ongoing protest highlights the systemic undervaluation of community health workers in India and particularly in Kerala. I urge the minister to take immediate action in coordination with state governments to address their concerns. : Shashi Tharoor ji in Lok Sabha

I've just left the Mater Hospital after meeting health workers from many backgrounds who are genuinely terrified for their own safety and for the safety of their families. They are appealing for those behind these attacks to stop. These health workers are the people who care for us and our loved ones when we need them most. I made sure to share with them the deep appreciation that the vast majority of people have for the work they do every single day

Health workers under the Joint Health Sector Unions and the Assembly of Healthcare Professional Associations are protesting at Unity Fountain over a proposed health sector regulatory bill before the National Assembly. They oppose the bill, arguing it would place all medical professions under the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, and that the new bill is seeking to make other health professionals second-class to medical doctors. #ChannelsTVNews

The health care program the Democrats created is rife with waste, fraud, and abuse. Republicans are for putting more money in the pockets of the American people so they can make their own decisions about their health care coverage.

"No safety tools for Bengaluru workers." 💔 Workers are poor and forced to risk their health for their families. But what about the legal duty of the contractor? Why does the government allow such negligence?

However, many counties are unable to take our healthcare workers back for specialization because of the burden of their salaries while they train at national health facilities #CitizenDayBreak

My constituents are calling me in tears. They’re scared of Trump’s cuts to Medicaid. They don’t know where they’ll get their health care. Or how they’ll pay for their medicine. The Republican cuts are devastating and real.

The Ministry of Health cautions all contracted healthcare facilities against charging teachers or demanding co-payments for services covered under the Social Health Authority (SHA), as this violates their contractual obligations. Any facility found engaging in such practices risks immediate suspension. Moreover, we have identified cases of inflated outpatient claims, some as high as KSh 187,000, which point to clear fraud and abuse of the system. We will not tolerate the misuse of public resources meant to safeguard teachers' health. These funds belong to teachers and we are committed to protecting them. Teachers are urged to remain vigilant and report any irregular charges, as we work together to uphold accountability and ensure they receive their full benefits.

One of the greatest opportunities to strengthen the health sector lies within the health workforce itself: two-thirds of health workers are women. By supporting health workers with training, decent working conditions, decent pay and leadership roles, we can improve gender equality and support countries on their journey towards #HealthForAll. Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all women, and especially to my female colleagues and health workers who are saving lives every day. #IWD2025

In Iran, the people are determining their own destiny. Right now in cities across the country truck drivers, bakers, and workers from multiple industries are on strike. Maria Bartiromo highlighted their fight but the Iranian diaspora must make sure other media know about the nationwide strike in Iran as well. To Iranians around the world: each of you has a responsibility. Do not let the voice of our compatriots risking their lives striking and protesting be ignored. The media and policymakers must know Iranians are not seeking a handout. They are not waiting on the sidelines. They are fighting for their rights, for their freedom, and for their dignity. The diaspora must continue to inform the media and officials in their host countries repeatedly and respectfully.
