| Sumario: | The article emphasizes the ongoing challenges facing the U.S. health care system following the end of the COVID-19 national emergency declarations. Despite the shift in status, COVID-19 continues to pose health risks, and the health workforce is experiencing significant burnout and shortages, with projections indicating a potential global deficit of 18 million health workers by 2030. The article calls for urgent investments in health worker training and support, as well as the establishment of a bipartisan task force to enhance pandemic preparedness and prevent future crises. It stresses the importance of learning from the pandemic's lessons rather than moving on without addressing these critical issues. |
