#CHWs bridge health workforce gaps, ensuring equity and access, and can mitigate health system shocks like pandemics. By investing in salaried, skilled, supervised, and supplied CHWs, we can extend services beyond health facilities: bit.ly/3PNnrgz #HealthWorkers #HealthSystems #HealthWorkforce

Partnerships and data are vital for immunization supply chains. Our blog highlights how the ICSPS project, with partners like JSI and CHAI, strengthens systems to ensure vaccines reach every child: bit.ly/45LB1aL #PublicHealth #Immunization #SupplyChain #Vaccines

CHWs bring primary health services directly to their neighbors' doorsteps. But evidence on horizontal CHW programs' costs and cost-effectiveness is fragmented. As a Coalition, we set out to change this, finding promise for cost-effectiveness compared to alternatives. More: bit.ly/47NvJxW

A new blog post from VillageReach! We're proud to support the Ministry of Health in Côte d'Ivoire as they use intensive IT training to build a more resilient reproductive health supply chain. This work is a testament to the power of digital health in creating lasting change bit.ly/45Wloyi

CHWs are vital for primary care—but proCHW funding is often invisible. Our Coalition found only 1 out of 8 major funders provides quantifiable funding data on CHWs. Better data = better decisions. Get the details:

Vaccines are key to public health, and #CHWs are essential for responsive PHC. They boost immunization access by tackling hesitancy and identifying under-immunized children. Discover how to invest in CHWs for global immunization efforts in this oped on Devex: bit.ly/44WYyog #proCHWs

When governments, the private sector and communities coordinate better and avoid duplicating resources, communities get stronger health care. That’s the kind of collaboration we’re working to make happen. 💪 #HealthForAll #UntilWeAreAllSafe @laktarr001.bsky.social
