Widespread shortcomings in community health programs result in CHWs being absent, ill-equipped, or facing grave dangers. And despite doing great implementation, NGOs can face barriers scaling through healthcare providers. So a billion people will never see a health worker. At Community Health Impact Coalition we’re working together to dismantle these barriers and close the healthcare delivery gap. #proCHWs #healthforall

To do their work effectively, Community Health Workers (#CHWs) must have reliable access to essential medicines. But research by the Coalition shows that CHWs are out of stock one third of the time. These stockouts continue to place lies at risk. In the entire time period considered in our study (2006-2021), CHWs experienced stock-outs 28.93% of the time. This was substantially higher than the health centers to which they were affiliated, which were impacted 9.17% of the time. Perhaps the biggest concern, however, is that essential medicine stock-outs in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) appear to be on the rise. When researchers looked at just the data during the period 2016-2021, stock-outs for CHWs increased to 48.65%. Clearly, essential medicine stock-outs for CHWs are a growing concern that requires immediate attention. Learn more and join the #SupplyCHWs campaign: https://lnkd.in/eyBdGvme

"Community health workers like Ms. Shurentsetseg are the backbone of the health system in Mongolia, one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. They travel great distances to provide basic health services to people like the nomads who live far from city clinics and hospitals." Great to see CHWs and recognition of their vital role in reaching #healthforall, everywhere, in the New York Times again! https://lnkd.in/esUPMKvP

How do we make professional community health workers (#proCHWs) the norm worldwide? In part, through research Research is a tool to dismantle immodest claims of causality. To expand ideas of what is possible in community health. And to overcome institutional obstacles. Several operational questions are unresolved by current academic evidence. Often, high-level reports or randomized controlled trials don’t have enough health system detail. So there’s a black box of what’s producing the effect. By publishing evidence on proCHWs in peer-reviewed literature, we can more effectively influence normative guidance on CHW programs. So we tackle fundamental questions that couldn’t be answered alone Find out more about how we collaborate on research: https://lnkd.in/ewpRnTVW

Exceedingly grateful to have joined Dr. Madeleine Ballard's mighty team at CHIC during such an eventful week. Through radical collaboration, Community Health Impact Coalition is making professional community health workers the norm worldwide. CHWs have been a global cornerstone of primary health care for a century. Yet professional community health workers (proCHWs) remain the exception, not the norm. At CHIC, we create international guidelines, increase global funding, and win national policy. As Development Lead, I'm growing the network of donors committed to creating a just world full of #proCHWs who are salaried, skilled, supervised, and supplied. Let's talk!
