#WhatWeAreReading 🌉 Community health workers (CHW) are a critical bridge to health access for all. Community Health Impact Coalition's latest annual report outlines how they envision a world where CHWs (70% of which are women) are salaried, skilled, supervised, and supplied. At EYElliance we support this movement, integrating basic eye health and delivery of reading glasses into public community health systems in low- and middle-income countries. Together with a coalition of partners, EYElliance complements and extends government capabilities by providing targeted technical assistance on program design, facilitating training for CHWs, and fully institutionalizing programs within existing government systems. We also support governments’ ability to access large-scale donations and source affordable, quality eyeglasses to support community health worker systems to scale eye health services effectively. #communityhealthworkers #eyehealth #globaldevelopment
At Community Health Impact Coalition (CHIC) we’re making professional community health workers (proCHWs) the norm worldwide by changing guidelines, funding, and policy. The result? proCHWs who are salaried, skilled, supervised, and supplied. And quality care for all, including those who provide it. 2023 was a big year towards this shared vision. We generated high-impact research to equip norm setters with evidence to create proCHW guidelines. We influenced global financing institutions to increase proCHW funding. And we mobilized in-country networks that demand national proCHW policy. Discover more in our 2023 Annual Report, available in English and French. https://lnkd.in/e76eUete
