Great to see Dr Tedros both pointing to the fact that investment in health is not just a cost and highlighting how important health workers are. Get the health system right and we all prosper.
Too often, health workers are thought of as a cost, rather than an investment. But the return on investment in health is very compelling: the world’s top economists estimate that every single dollar spent on health yields up to US$20 in full-income growth within a generation.

Curious -- does this include public health, clinical care, and community health workers? Does ROI vary across disciplines? Would be very interested in exploring this.
