Community Health Systems Strengthening and Self-Care

With a shortage of 7.2 million healthcare workers worldwide and skewed resource allocation to higher-level care, there is a growing recognition of the inequities in access to healthcare by the world’s most vulnerable populations. Increasing global focus on Universal Health Coverage necessitates the reallocation of resources to primary care and the strengthening of community health systems.

The GreenHealth Africa team has deep expertise and experience working with community-level health systems through training of community health workers, strengthening the capacity of healthcare providers serving the poorest and most vulnerable and in the marketing of healthcare products and services for self-care.

Our services include:

Training and support of community health workers (CHWs)

Advancing digital and mobile applications for CHWs

Self-care product development and marketing including contraceptives and HIV self-test kits

Adolescent-focused SRH and family planning program development
