The broadcast will feature stories from frontline healthcare workers on the COVID response, commitments from philanthropists, governments and corporations to support and equip frontline healthcare workers around the world with masks, gowns and other vital equipment, and to local charities that provide food, shelter and healthcare to those who need it most.
