Course Description
To achieve the goal of health for all, universal coverage is a target that needs to be completed. One step in the direction is the appointment of a non-physician workforce, Community Health Officers at health and wellness centres. However, the current level of training provided to CHOs, including the freshers, is 4-day induction and four months of comprehensive training with less focus on developing practical skills. The duration of this course is 1 year consisting of 13 modules. This course helps to improve the abilities of community health workers to increase services and boost the effectiveness of healthcare delivery systems in areas with constrained resources. The goal is to transfer the skills learned into real-life workplace scenarios and make CHOs a leader at the local level by managing current and new public health challenges.
