Improving Community Health through Integration! We're excited to share the next step in the Afya-Tek program: integrating Afya-Tek with the national Unified Community System (UCS) to streamline beneficiary services. By linking ADDOs directly through UCS, we’re enhancing access and efficiency for Community Health Workers (CHWs), Accredited Drug Dispensing Outlets (ADDOs), and Health Facilities (HFs). This makes us the first to integrate private drug shops into the national care pathway!! Currently in Morogoro, we’re holding Training of Trainers sessions to empower national trainers who will, in turn, train the end-users of this pivotal system. Together, we’re building a stronger foundation for community health in Tanzania! #AfyaTek #DigitalHealth #CommunityHealth #UCSIntegration
