SECURE Health Act

This bill would require the President to create and regularly update a 5-year Global Health Workforce Strategy that identifies U.S. spending on health workers abroad and sets measurable goals. Federal agencies that fund international health and humanitarian aid would have to set policies that match the strategy. The President would appoint a Global Health Workforce Coordinator in the State Department and set up an interagency task force in the National Security Council to oversee the effort. The President would also publish an annual report on funding for training, salaries, and protection of frontline health workers, and the United States would seek to support an independent global report on the health workforce every two years.
