At #WHA78 today, our Co-Executive Director Nan emphasized the urgent need for #proCHWs to be recognized and supported as the professionals they are — because dignified work leads to better care.

#proCHWs are often the first to detect outbreaks, deliver care, and build trust in communities during crisis. To prevent the next pandemic, we must integrate CHWs into nationally-led and well-financed health systems, ensuring they are equipped, supported and protected. #WHA78

Integrating CHWs into healthy systems is simple, low-cost and effective. And it's possible within a single term. If you’re a policymaker- this is your legacy project: adopt proCHW national policy. joinchic.org

Africa faces a $4.4B community health financing gap, limiting the scale of #proCHWs. At #WHA78, we urge member states to ensure CHWs are at the center of the health financing resolution. Without an investment in CHWs, we will never achieve health for all.

NCDs represent the leading cause of death worldwide. African govts must invest in CHWs, ensuring they're equipped & supported to reduce the burden of NCDs. The 4th Political Declaration on NCDs must prioritize long-term financing for CHWs so no one is left behind in NCD care.

Last week our team was energized to attend #WHA78, where we joined partners to advocate for sustainable, coordinated financing for #proCHWs. Now more than ever, we must continue investments in CHWs, ensuring that the workforce is strong and supported amid cuts in global aid.
