CHWs aren’t “nice-to-have”, but core health system infrastructure. Evidence shows integrated CHW programs can deliver care in communities for ~$0.59 per person per year. This #WHWWeek, let's focus on what it takes to sustain the workforce we celebrate. ➡️ https://t.co/xGsaGfj22n

As Madeleine Ballard of @join_chic highlights, supporting community health workers remains one of the world’s most consistent, high-impact investments—through crisis and calm, wartime and peace.

Because when systems falter, it’s people—connected, trained, and trusted—who keep communities safe and healthy.

That’s the kind of collaboration the future depends on.

Every $1 invested in community health workers can yield up to $10 in returns — better health, fewer outbreaks, stronger communities.

The smartest investment in global health is already in our communities. 💪🏾

The #malnutrition crisis is an URGENT yet SOLVABLE threat to the lives of countless children. Yet a key response—community health workers—are so often not valued or supported.

“Our idea is simple yet powerful: by unlocking collective action, we can achieve breakthrough reforms at a scale that matches the size of our problems.”

Community health workers are the backbone of global health—but for too long, they have gone largely unsupported.

#SkollAwardee @join_chic shared at last night’s Awards Ceremony the importance of advocating for policies that champion these leaders, enabling them to deliver care without sacrificing their own wellbeing.

Health care for the world’s most vulnerable communities is improving daily thanks to CHIC’s efforts around the world.
