In this post in the Public Health Institute's (PHI) "Dialogue4Health" blog, Jeff Meer, director of PHI's Washington-based advocacy on global health, reports on the Frontline Health Workers Coalition, launched Wednesday, which is "developing support for new investments in the global health workforce, particularly those working at the community level who are the first and often the only link to health care for millions of people." He outlines the Coalition's targets and quotes a number of officials indicating "that the Obama Administration and the U.S. Congress are coming to adopt the same view" (1/11).
