What happens when we invest in community health workers?

Care reaches further. Communities grow stronger. Lives are saved.

For 36 years, UNICEF-supported nurse Jiydegul Rysbaeva has traveled across Kyrgyzstan's Jon-Bulak Valley, delivering vaccines and care to children in remote communities.

"If just one child gets #measles, that child contacts many others," she says. "That's why we need to vaccinate kids." #WHWWeek
