Abstract: The community is often the first responder in emergencies, including those caused by disease outbreaks. Community health workers (CHWs) can be the front-line health workers during an outbreak of communicable disease or other emergencies, alleviating the strain and demand on health-care workers in hospitals, clinics and other institutions when the health system is overwhelmed or disrupted. CHWs can also improve access to prevention and treatment of epidemic diseases and other common illnesses, and have close links to the community for implementing public health programmes and ensuring community participation.
These training materials have been developed specifically for CHWs to ensure that they are ready to provide health services to communities in conjunction with home-based and other levels of care. | |
