The role of community health workers (CHWs) in improving health equity and coverage.

The Coalition in the media
The Coalition recently contributed to a Foreign Policy piece on India’s public health system and community health workers (CHWs).
“CHWs are an anonymous donor, a nameless benefactor to everyone else. In the vast majority of communities around the world, CHWs are the working poor. In the context of poverty and limited access to decent work opportunities for women, this is not a free choice to volunteer, but it’s actually wage slavery.”
