The result is a national community health program that can drive transformative increases in population level health outcomes—increased treatment for sick children, improved immunization rates, access to skilled birth attendants, and detection of epidemic infectious disease events and more.
Over the next four years, we are partnering with countries to design and build community-based primary health systems. We will leverage our theory of change to establish three national community health programs as exemplars for the world—starting in Liberia and Malawi. We will also support a global movement for quality community-based primary healthcare by availing the methods and practices of Last Mile Health and our aligned partners—proving that investments in community health not only work, but save lives.
