World Health Organization: Covid-19 kills tens of thousands of health workers

 From the outbreak of Covid-19 in December 2021 in Wuhan, Hubei Province in central China until October 22, 2021, this deadly virus has killed health workers. Between 80,000 and 180,000 of the nearly 5 million dead.

According to the BBC, published on October 22, 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) has claimed that Covid-19 disease has seriously affected health workers. The deadly disease has killed between 80,000 and 180,000 doctors, nurses and midwives.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), stated that all health workers, including doctors, nurses and midwives, must prioritize access to the Covid-19 vaccine. The WHO president also criticized the inaccuracies in the distribution of the vaccine.

Other senior WHO officials have warned that a lack of vaccines could spread Covid-19 until next year. So far, however, there are about 135 million health workers in the world working on their skills to treat Covid-19 patients.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), said: "According to data from 119 countries, on average, two out of five health workers worldwide receive Covid vaccinated at all doses. "But the facts are very different from region to region and from country to country."

In Africa, less than one in 10 health workers has been vaccinated with every dose of Covid-19 vaccine, he added. Less than 5 percent of Africans are vaccinated, compared with 40 percent of the continent.
