Girl band Yegna tells us why Ethiopia's community health workers are life-savers across the country. Yegna's song 'The Caring Ones' celebrates Ethiopia's 40,000 health extension workers, who are all female, for the huge strides they have made in improving child and maternal health. Their work has resulted in increased immunization coverage, and better health for mothers and children. The extension workers are living and working all across the country, including in remote regions that were traditionally hard to access, giving all Ethiopian families a healthier start at life.
