Introduced
Summary
This bill would create a dedicated framework to strengthen the global health workforce by expanding, training, paying, supporting, equipping, and protecting frontline health workers and by shifting U.S. global health aid toward integrated, sustained investments instead of disease-specific silos.
Show full summary
- Frontline health workers: It would support expanded training (pre-service and in-service), digital capacity, safer work conditions, and salary support tied to retention and protections during crises.
- Host countries and local employers: The bill would require host organization contributions to salaries and plans to transition pay to domestic financing to sustain employment.
- U.S. agencies and coordination: It would establish a Global Health Workforce Coordinator at the State Department, require a five-year Global Health Workforce Strategy, and create an interagency National Security Council task force to align agency policies and funding.
- Transparency and global tracking: Agencies must report annually on training, funding types, salaries, and protections by cadre. A separate biennial global report would assess workforce status, funding, and policy environments to track progress and encourage investment.

More U.S. support for health workers
If enacted, the bill would require the President to create and update a five-year Global Health Workforce Strategy. It would require federal agencies to align their policies and spending with that strategy. The President would appoint a Global Health Workforce Coordinator at the State Department and set up an interagency task force at the National Security Council to coordinate investments. The bill would require an annual U.S. report on training, salary support, staffing expansion, funding sources, and protections for frontline health workers. It would require host organizations to contribute to any U.S.-funded salaries and include plans to transition those salaries to domestic financing. The bill would also ask the U.S. to support a biennial, independent global report on the status of the global health workforce outside the UN and donor system.
