To open the global forum on health workers, held in Bangkok, The World Health Organisation wanted a video (Imagine) to indicate the enormity of some of the problems that developing countries face, and to inspire action from stakeholders. We emphasised the key message “a health worker for everyone, everywhere” with this simple yet striking pieced of animation which also featured on a micro site supported and hosted by the Guardian. The Alliance convened the First and the Second Global Forums on Human Resources for Health, in 2008 in Uganda, and 2011 in Thailand respectively. The Global Forums brought together key experts, fellow champions as well as frontline health workers around the common goal of improving the human resources for health to achieve the health related Millennium Development Goals.
