Health workers serve communities every day—but there aren’t enough to meet the need.

International Medical Corps trains health workers and first responders, building skills that save lives and expand access to care.

Healthy people. Healthy communities. Healthy world. #WHWWeek

This #WHWWeek, we recognize the contributions of community health workers like Patrice Messolo. 💜🤍

CHWs aren’t a “nice-to-have.” They’re core health system infrastructure. Evidence shows integrated CHW programs can deliver care across entire communities for ~$0.59 per person per year. This #WHWWeek, we’re focusing on what it takes to sustain the workforce we celebrate. ➡️ bit.ly/3Q7R0LU

This #WHWWeek, it’s time to move from celebrating #proCHWs to supporting them with bold investments and effective policy. Evidence shows CHW programs are cost-effective in 8 out of 10 NCD studies and 9 out of 10 infectious disease studies. That’s what sustainable primary care looks like.

CHWs are the backbone of primary healthcare delivery, says #proCHW supervisor Amadu Kamara of Sierra Leone. "We improve health outcomes and reduce maternal & child death."

On #WHWWeek we call on gov'ts & partners to recognize & fairly paid CHWs for their lifesaving work.

This World Health Worker Week, we honor #proCHWs like Victoria Karpay in Liberia. "Since I started working as a CHW, there have been no child deaths or maternal deaths in my community," she says. bit.ly/4h2FJEF #WHWWeek

This World Health Worker Week, we recognize the vital role #proCHWs play in ensuring all people can access healthcare. Hear from Marta Alemu, whose livelihood was at risk due to vision problems--until she sought care from CHW Belaynesh Kassa: bit.ly/3DWymku #WHWWeek
Better vision, better life: Community health workers deliver lifechanging care in Ethiopia
Ethiopia's community health workforce provides essential healthcare services to people in rural and remote communities, closing the distance to care for patients far from the nearest clinic. A new training module developed by Last Mile Health in partnership with the Ethiopia Ministry of Health, expands the services they provide to include non-communicable diseases--and with the partnership of the Livelihood Project, community health workers are screening patients for vision problems and providing them with the eyeglasses they need. Watch the story of Marta Alemu, a small business owner who was at risk of losing her livelihood to declining vision--until she received care from community health worker Belaynesh Kassa.
