Our team has arrived at #WHA78, where we're energized to connect with leaders, partners, and peers and advocate for professional community health workers in driving sustainable progress toward #HealthForAll.

Millicent Miruka, a community health worker from Kenya who works with Lwala Community Alliance: “The most urgent priority with regards to health worker shortages is professionalization - make sure CHWs are paid and integrated into the health system." #WHA78

Join Coalition ally EYElliance in a conversation with Last Mile Health and and Lwala Community Alliance at #WHA78 on advancing #proCHWs via responsible, effective approaches to expand the scope of community-level care—using eye health as a case study.

Alongside today's #WHA78 discussion on pandemic preparedness & response, we urge leaders to recognize the key role #proCHWs have played in responding to Ebola, COVID-19, & emerging disease threats. To prevent the next pandemic, we must invest in CHWs & systems that support them.

Amidst global aid cuts, we join leaders from Community Health Impact Coalition, Unlock Aid, Skoll Foundation & Rippleworks in calling for bold action & increased trust-based funding -- "the best bet for impact during uncertainty." More from Stanford Social Innovation Review ➡️ bit.ly/4krWXgA

The recent freeze in foreign aid has put community health workers and the people they serve at risk. Yet, we know from experience: when funders and frontline leaders act in trust, we can transform crisis into progress. sbee.link/jtq8uyaw3n #HealthForAll #proCHWs

“I genuinely believe that if CHWs were further strengthened, all of our public health ambitions would be better served” - Dr Dr Sania Nishtar tells Community Health Impact Coalition event at #WHA78. We couldn’t agree more! Thank you for your advocacy.

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

Julius Mbeya Community Health Impact Coalition Dr Sania Nishtar Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance Dr Sania Nishtar reaffirmed her ongoing dedication to support CHWs, asking Millicent, "What can I do for you?" In a powerful moment of recognition and solidarity. Dr. Sania committed to carrying her conversation with Millicent to her policy engagements with countries and ministers.

Non-communicable diseases are on the agenda at #WHA78, & #proCHWs are key to reducing prevalence & improving outcomes. In Ethiopia, Last Mile Health & Ministry of Health ETHIOPIA developed a training module equipping CHWs to fight NCDs. Now, we're scaling it nationally: bit.ly/3FeyXyG

Today I had the opportunity to meet with Millicent Miruka, a community health worker from Kenya, for an important conversation organised by the Community Health Impact Coalition during #WHA78 about the challenges community health workers face, including securing fair wages,

In the afterglow of the #PandemicAccord, we are happy to see the vital role of CHWs in emergency response be recognized by leaders at World Health Organization (WHO), IFRC, & UNICEF. Let us not only amplify their voices, but also their impact through intentional investments in their professionalization.

Shifting from direct service delivery to government partnership is key to driving large-scale, lasting impact. A new article in Stanford Social Innovation Review outlines how NGOs can make this "big shift," highlighting Last Mile Health's work: bit.ly/3EQ09Ug

As we depart #WHA78, we're proud to stand with partners & peers advocating for #proCHWs as key to driving UHC, improving health outcomes & stopping new threats. Sustainable change is possible when we work alongside governments to invest in CHWs & strong community health systems.
