CHW (Community Health Worker) programs

Community Health Worker (CHW) programs involve trained individuals from local communities who serve as bridges between healthcare providers and residents. They offer basic health education, promote healthy behaviors, assist with navigating healthcare services, and provide support for managing illnesses. CHWs help improve access to care, especially in underserved areas, by building trust, addressing cultural and language barriers, and encouraging preventive practices. These programs enhance overall community health outcomes by ensuring that people receive appropriate guidance and support tailored to their specific needs and circumstances.
