UNSUNG HEROES: Steve McCurry Photography

Today is August 19th, World Humanitarian Day. Seems like a good time to shine a light on health workers of the world,  the unsung heroes who run toward disasters when everyone else is running away.

These are the people who deliver babies, comfort the dying, treat the sick, and put themselves in harm’s way. 
Health workers risk their lives when they treat people with drug-resistant TB, Ebola, Marburg, and injured people in war zones.   They refuse to give up even when it looks like all hope is lost.
