| Title: | Health workers on the political frontlines |
| Abstract: | The authors offer insight on the struggle of health workers engaged on the political frontlines. They cite threats of violence facing health workers around the world for criticizing governments' responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and for raising COVID-19 related concerns. Emphasis is given on the need for transparency and mechanisms for political participation, as well as the protection of global health in an atmosphere of freedom of expression and protection of civil and political rights. |
