Merlin's campaign
Ending needless deaths starts with training health workers
We want 12,000 people to put their weight behind our call for urgent reallocation of aid to health workers in crisis countries.
World leaders must recognise that unless they direct health funding towards health workers in crisis countries, global health targets will never be reached. And thousands of people will continue to die needlessly.
