Healthright Frontline Health Workers: Anna Koroliova, Odessa, Ukraine - a podcast by NYU School of Global Public Health

HealthRight and I AM GPH have partnered to bring you this 4-part podcast series profiling four different Frontline health workers (FHWs) and their work in four different countries.

One of the many consequences of the long simmering conflict in Ukraine is an increased incidence of gender-based violence (GBV). Anna is a psychologist who leads one of HealthRight's GBV mobile teams (there are 46 across Ukraine) in the Odessa region that identifies, treats, triages and documents cases of GBV. Anna is an FHW and this is her story.

As a global health NGO focused on health system strengthening for marginalized populations, much of HealthRight's work is devoted to building the capacity of FHWs to better meet the needs of the communities they serve. These are some of those stories. This podcast series is hosted by Dr. Peter Navario, Executive Director of HealthRight and Clinical Associate Professor at NYU's College pf Global Public Health. 

Frontline health workers play an essential role in the prevention, identification and response to ill-health globally. For marginalized communities in particular, FHWs are the only link between them and the health system. Investment in FHWs has been shown to be a highly cost-effective way to ensure healthier, safer communities around the world.
