The most sophisticated healthcare technology is only valuable if it reaches the people who need it most. Community health integration is Universal Health Systems' approach to closing the last-mile gap.
The Role of Community Health Workers
Community health workers (CHWs) are the backbone of last-mile healthcare delivery. Trusted members of the communities they serve, CHWs are uniquely positioned to identify health needs, deliver basic interventions, and connect community members with formal healthcare services.
How We Support Community Health Integration
- CHW Training and Capacity Building: We design and deliver training programmes that equip CHWs with the clinical and digital skills they need.
- Digital Tools for CHWs: We provide CHWs with mobile health tools that support case management, data collection, and communication with clinical supervisors.
- Referral Pathway Integration: We design referral systems that ensure community-identified cases are efficiently escalated to appropriate levels of care.
- Community Health Data: We help health authorities collect and use community health data to inform resource allocation and programme design.
