Community health workers (CHWs) are the backbone of health systems. They deliver testing, treatment, & care to even the most remote communities; & are often the first to detect & respond to disease outbreaks.
The Global Fund has invested more than US$1.5 billion in CHWs since 2020.
'As a CHW fighting malaria I identify and test for malaria cases, treat uncomplicated malaria and refer complicated cases. But we lack malaria commodities like drugs and test kits to do our work effectively.'
