Community Health Workers
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are frontline public health professionals who serve as trusted links between healthcare systems and the communities they support. Often recruited from the communities they serve, CHWs provide culturally appropriate health education, basic health services, and guidance on accessing care and social support. Their responsibilities include health promotion, disease prevention, maternal and child health support, chronic disease follow-up, and community outreach. In public health, CHWs play a crucial role in reaching underserved and marginalized populations, improving health literacy, and reducing health disparities. They support early detection of illness, treatment adherence, and continuity of care through home visits and community-based programs. By building trust and strengthening community engagement, community health workers enhance the effectiveness of public health interventions and contribute to more equitable, people-centered, and resilient health systems.
