Ten Conversations for Health

Health heroes
Who is a hero?
Who are the health heroes?
Where are they hiding?
They are not hiding in the jungle,
They are not hiding in the offices,
In the bars or restaurants,
They are out there in your communities,
They are all around you,
Community health workers are our unsung health heroes.
Their job does not start at 9 and end at 5.
They are there when you are ill.
When you need them most.
Day in, day out like the sun,
All through the night like the moon.
Universal health care starts,
With these everyday heroes.
Linking real people with health.
They leave no one behind,
No star in the sky.
