Plan to increase CHWs endorsed

UNAIDS - "Economic experts and representatives of national AIDS programmes, health ministries and health professional organizations endorsed the creation of a global coalition of community health workers in UNAIDS-convened consultations in New York, United States of America, on 9 and 10 February.

Community health workers bring cost-effective services to communities and increase service access for marginalized people, who often struggle to access essential health services. More than 6 million community health workers are already in place across the world. However, many are unpaid and are typically not fully integrated into health systems."
