Summary:

Many countries around the world rely on community health workers to provide healthcare to those without immediate access, connecting them to formal health systems, and whilst numerous Community Health Worker (CHW) programmes exist, there is little research published on the need for ongoing high-quality training and supervision, or the role technology can play in supporting this. This book presents a practical resource on the nuances and intricacies of CHW programmes today. Written by experienced academics and practitioners in CHW training, education, and supervision, this book offers a trustworthy overview to this emerging field, with insights from across the globe.
