Securing the Future with ProCHWs: A Timeless Investment in Health for All.
Imagine a world where every person has access to essential health services, no matter where they live. Despite decades of investment, half of the global population still lacks this fundamental right. Meanwhile, millions of community health workers (CHWs) remain unintegrated into the formal health system: unsupervised, unequipped, and unpaid. What if a single policy change could revolutionize health systems worldwide? Undeniable evidence shows that professional CHWs (proCHWs) significantly improve access, equity, and health outcomes. By making proCHWs the norm, we can secure health for all—today and tomorrow.
At the upcoming UNGA79, join us for a high-level 75-minute session hosted by the Community Health Impact Coalition. We will delve into the transformative potential of salaried, skilled, supervised, and supplied CHWs. Learn from frontline CHW advocates, visionary policymakers, and pioneering funders about the strategic steps needed to implement proCHW policies in 95 countries. With 40 countries already on board, discover how we can collaboratively achieve global health equity and secure the future with proCHWs.
