Director-General of the world body, Tedros Ghebreyesus, made the call during COVID-19 virtual news conference, with focus on healthcare workers and vaccine equity.
Ghebreyesus said WHO and partners were concerned that large numbers of healthcare workers had died from COVID-19, and an increasing proportion of the workforce were suffering from burnout, stress, anxiety and fatigue.
He urged member state governments and stakeholders to strengthen the monitoring and reporting of COVID-19 infections, ill-health and deaths among healthcare workers.
He urged political leaders and policy makers to do all within their power to make regulatory, policy and investment decisions that ensure the protection of healthcare workers.
