Way Forward Community Health Care HPP SA offers to be a strong partner in the roll out & re- engineering of the Community Health Worker programme in MP. HPP SA believes that the structures of TCE at the community mobilisation level fit well to be used as a framework for the revised CHW programme. HPP SA suggests a partnership with government, where we recruit, train, lead and monitor community health workers into a strong provincial programme to strengthen people’s basic health. We can extend the work of Field Officers to address broader public health issues such as child and maternal health and life style diseases.
