Faculty Fellow Ray Offenheiser (Board Chair of BRAC USA, President Emeritus of Oxfam America, and Director of the Pulte Institute for Global Development) co-authored an opinion piece in BRAC USA titled, “Community health workers are heroes, too.” The piece recognizes the community health workers who have been on the frontlines one year after the WHO officially recognized the coronavirus pandemic.
The piece concludes, “Even in the most developed countries, access to health care is increasingly fragile and challenged in rural areas and big cities alike. Health care providers who risk their lives for us on the frontlines of our health systems are rightly our heroes.”
