Our vision is global: empower hundreds of thousands of community health workers to serve the hundreds of millions of people around the world who lack access to healthcare.
- For community health workers, we are supporting Ministries of Health to digitize their national CHW curricula, in order to equip CHWs with high-quality, on-demand, and engaging digital education materials directly in their communities.
- For the health systems leaders, we are creating a global classroom to provide free, university-quality courses taught by and for health systems leaders to improve the quality of national community health systems. The curriculum will be created by a faculty network of leading community health innovators from around the world.
- Using a blended learning approach, these free online courses will be accompanied by in-person learning opportunities and the establishment of a global community of practice.
- In the next four years, the Academy will up-skill at least 16,000 CHWs and train at least 15,000 current and next generation health systems leaders.
No one should die because they live too far from a doctor
Illness is universal, access to care is not. It’s time for us to go as far as it takes to change this condition together.
