In an editorial, the editors note how crucial the role is of public health activism in enforcing efficient and effective public health management. The government is the lead institution in any national response to the pandemic and to ensure transparency on its end, it is important for any network of health organizations and associations not to shy away from embracing an activist role. In this correspondence, the author explores the case of the Alliance of Health Workers, a union of government and private health workers, and its advocacy towards an empowered status of healthcare professionals in the Philippines.
在一篇社论中，编辑们指出公共卫生行动主义在实施高效和有效的公共卫生管理方面的作用至关重要。政府是任何国家对大流行病作出反应的牵头机构，为确保其透明度，卫生组织和协会网络不回避发挥积极作用十分重要。在这封通信中，作者探讨了卫生工作者联盟的案例，该联盟由政府和私营卫生工作者组成，其倡导在菲律宾赋予医疗保健专业人员更大权力。
