For every CHW program to reach its full potential, CHWs must be salaried, skilled, supervised and supplied. How do we do this and achieve #healthforall? By reinforcing our mutual commitment to fund, scale, and strengthen community health programs. Join the movement at #WHA77.

[MSH @MSHHealthImpact]

#MSHatWHA77: MSH President and CEO @MSHMarian and MSH’s Amy Boldosser-Boesch were proud to attend a high-level ministerial dialogue at #WHA77 on the importance of #universalhealthcoverage in the fight against #HIV and #AIDS, #TB, and #malaria.

What does it take to ensure people in remote communities have access to quality #primaryhealthcare? Determination, cooperation, and trust. Kudos to the brave young men who recently helped the @ACCESS_Mada team in #Madagascar complete their mission. #HealthForAll
