They provide services for disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment where alternatives either do not exist or are inaccessible due to cost, distance, or stigma. Frontline health workers include doctors and nurses as well as pharmacists, midwives, community workers, and volunteers. To address these issues, workers on the frontlines have expanded care from inside clinics and hospitals into the communities that they serve. Across the globe, a health shock-wherein a family member falls sick and requires extensive care-has the potential to push millions back into poverty and debt. Even in communities with some access to primary care, many people cannot afford even the most essential health services. Rural populations are often hours or days away from the nearest medical center, nurse, or physician. While dramatic progress has been made, including the reduction of infant mortality rates worldwide, more than 50 million people a year still die of preventable and treatable conditions. In many places, the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic or mental health conditions can be nonexistent. From the Za’atari refugee camp, to rural Liberia, or the slums of Bogotá, too many mothers go without any prenatal or childbirth care, and infants without vaccinations or basic medication. At least half of the world’s population does not have regular access to essential health services.
