Abstract

Frontline health workers are the backbone of a resilient health system. This was evidenced during the COVID-19 pandemic where they were at the forefront of managing the pandemic despite the severe risk it posed to their health. The Antara Foundation’s experience working with frontline health workers in rural India reveals that investing in health workers is imperative as they are central to last-mile service delivery and ensure comprehensive healthcare. This policy brief calls for investing in frontline health workers to build resilient health systems that can deal with complex health challenges.
