#CHWs are an important pathway to primary health care, especially in the hardest-to-reach communities. In Ep 2 of VillageReach's podcast we talk to Community Health Impact Coalition's Dr. Madeleine Ballard and Dickson Nansima Mbewe about the important role of CHWs to get products to people: bit.ly/3VWOoh5

An insightful interaction with Dr. Madeleine Ballard, CEO of Community Health Impact Coalition and Assistant Professor at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. We discussed ways to strengthen gender-responsive healthcare systems and emphasised the importance of empowering women as decision-makers and leaders in the health sector.

Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They've saved millions of lives. 🧵
