As part of our work to ensure CHWs in Kenya have consistent access to health products, VillageReach and Lwala Community Alliance visited Community Health Promoters at Magacha Dispensary in Migori County to hear directly from them about the challenges they face with stockouts and managing products at the last mile. We had the opportunity to witness first hand the dedication of these health promoters as they received supplies and used them for early disease detection. Their commitment to improving health outcomes through practical advice and best practices is inspiring. Together, we’re making strides towards healthier communities! 💪 #CommunityHealth #HealthForAll #PublicHealth #supplyCHWs Community Health Impact Coalition People that Deliver Carla Pamela Blauvelt George Nzioka lusubiro mwamsamali Pamela Steele Angelina Cumba Edwin Mulwa

🌍 Transforming Health Care for Millions in Africa: The Time for Action is Now! 🌍 The vision of a strong primary health care system (PHC) is closer than we think with a shift towards "Responsive PHC." In this opinion piece, VillageReach's Dr Claudia S. explores Africa's urgent need for Responsive Primary Health Care (PHC). Responsive Primary Health Care prioritizes the needs of communities, ensuring timely access to quality care, especially for the most under-reached. It's about: - Availability: Reaching the farthest corners with trained community health workers and innovative solutions like drones. - Adaptability: Building systems that respond to unique challenges, like climate change and disease outbreaks. - Responsiveness: Gathering community feedback and data to deliver services people want and need.
