Rural Community Health Workers

Rural Community Health Workers (CHWs) are local individuals who provide health support and education in rural areas. They serve as a bridge between healthcare systems and the communities they live in, helping people access medical services, understand health information, and adopt healthier behaviors. CHWs often focus on issues like nutrition, maternal and child health, chronic disease prevention, and mental well-being. By building trust and understanding cultural needs, they enhance healthcare access, improve health outcomes, and empower residents to take charge of their health in underserved regions.
