Dear Colleagues,
 
The World Health Organization is rapidly upscaling training for health workers via a number of digital, easily accessible learning applications, through the newly established  WHO Academy.
 
  
 
Please help us design and prioritise content and delivery methodologies that support and enable health workers worldwide boost their knowledge and skills related to the COVID-19 outbreak, including for occupational health and safety, by filling in and sharing widely with your networks the following survey. 
 
  
 
The link to the survey tool ishttps://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PHH8ZYT
 
  
 
We kindly ask you to fill the survey and share it widely with your networks. This survey is anonymous, your responses will not be associated with your name or email address, and no identifiable information on any individuals will be shared or presented in the survey results.
 
The protection of health workers and other workers is very important for the COVID19 response.
 
You can see WHO recommendations for:
    
   - protection of health workers at  https://www.who.int/teams/risk-communication/health-sector
