Universal Health Coverage Day c/o CHIC mailing list
Dear Peter,
Today, we recognize Universal Health Coverage Day and join partners
around the world to advocate for #HealthForAll. How will we get there?
Professional community health workers (CHWs) who are salaried, skilled,
supervised, and supplied.
We have a long way to go. Millions of CHWs - 70% women - are not paid, supported, or supplied. And now, new evidence from the Coalition and collaborators spotlights the severity of stock-outs experienced by CHWs on the frontlines of care: CHWs are out of stock-out nearly ⅓ of the time, and the problem is getting worse.
