‘One World: Together At Home’, a historic, first-of-its-kind global broadcast event to celebrate the heroic efforts of community health workers and to support the World Health Organization (WHO) in the global fight to end COVID-19, will be televised and streamed today, starting at 3 p.m. The broadcast will feature stories from front-line healthcare workers, as well as commitments from philanthropists, governments, and corporations to support and equip front-line healthcare workers around the world with masks, gowns, and other vital equipment and to local charities that provide food, shelter, and healthcare to those who need it most.

Launched by international advocacy organisation Global Citizen and the WHO, ‘One World: Together At Home’ will show unity among all people who are affected by COVID-19 and will also celebrate and support brave healthcare workers doing life-saving work on the front lines.
