Integrate Health

In the days since #UNGA79, our key takeaway is emerging: the resounding conversation from diverse perspectives was that the climate emergency is amplifying health inequities, and women and girls are affected the most. While we’re motivated by this rhetoric, we’re even more eager for tangible action. Our highlights from the week were solutions-oriented: In partnership with Last Mile Health and with support from The Aspen Institute, Co-Impact, and Clinton Global Initiative, we convened a private roundtable on achieving gender equity in the community health workforce. We heard promising examples from President ELLEN JOHNSON SIRLEAF and CHW Advocate margaret odera on how centering women as providers and patients can unlock improved health for all. As a founding member of the Community Health Impact Coalition, we supported their event on Securing the Future with ProCHWs. Sania Nishtar, CEO of Integrate Health’s partner Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, committed to addressing the triple burden women community health workers face. IH’s own Sahaletou, Marie Yelebo spoke at a virtual side event hosted by Together Women Rise sharing lessons learned from Togo on how grassroots advocacy can influence global policy. We did however, face a challenge. Integrate Health-supported #CHW advocate from Togo, Rebecca Tchotchokou, was scheduled to be in New York, but her visa was denied. Disappointed but undeterred, Rebecca shared her advocacy message via video recording, which was screened at Together Women Rise’s event. We will continue to fight for equity, until all proximate leaders have a seat at the table to speak truth to power.

Today, we proudly celebrate our 20th #anniversary! For two decades, Integrate Health has worked tirelessly to make quality healthcare accessible to all, across francophone West Africa. Our journey has been one of #growth, #learning, and #impact, and we couldn’t have done it without the collaboration of our partners, #CommunityHealthWorkers, and the communities we serve. As we reflect on our achievements, we are also looking forward to the future, where we aim to reach even more people. Here’s to 20 years of impact and many more to come! #HealthForAll #20YearsOfImpact

Despite decades of global health investment, half of the world’s population lacks access to essential health services. And at the same time, millions of CHWs – a cornerstone of primary healthcare – are unsupervised, unequipped, and unpaid. Prioritizing professional CHWs (#proCHWs) at #UNGA79 is a timeless investment in #healthforall.

Join us at "The Transformative Power of Grassroots Advocacy" webinar, featuring Sahaletou, Marie Yelebo, Global Advocacy Associate at Integrate Health, and other incredible advocates. Together, we’ll explore how grassroots efforts drive real, lasting change for women and children worldwide. 📅 September 24, 8:30 PM ET / 5:30 PM PT 🔗 Register now: https://shorturl.at/q0bFr More than a webinar—it’s an opportunity to gain the tools you need to become a changemaker. 💪 #TogetherWomenRise #Advocacy #GlobalHealth #WomenInLeadership  

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Phase 2 of the Building Integrated Readiness for Community Health (BIRCH) Project in Guinea! This project, funded by the Global Fund and implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Last Mile Health, aims to strengthen community health systems, ensure that resources effectively reach communities, and support sustainable health initiatives. Excited for the journey ahead as we work towards a resilient and inclusive community health system in Guinea. #BIRCH2 #CommunityHealth #GlobalHealth #Guinea

To mark the beginning of our 20th anniversary celebrations, Integrate Health organized a ⚽ football tournament in Togo, bringing together teams from the Ministry of Health, @RONGITO, @GIZ Togo, and our own organization. This event was not just a friendly competition, but a powerful symbol of the collaboration and community spirit that have driven our success over the past two decades. We congratulate the Ministry of Health team for their well-deserved victory and thank all our partners for their participation and support. This is just the start of our celebrations. Here’s to 20 more years of impact!

As health systems face a new strain of mpox, professional community health workers will be vital in responding to new outbreaks: educating communities, identifying cases, and ensuring patients receive the treatment they need. A well-equipped, well-trained community health workforce is essential to disease response. So must make professional CHWs (#proCHWs) the norm.

GLOBAL WAKE-UP CALL! Ahead of the G20 4th Health Working Group (Sept. 1-3), Pandemic Action Network, Resilience Action Network Africa (RANA), and more than 70 organizations are calling for #G20 leadership and solidarity to address the mpox crisis. https://lnkd.in/g4zfJzQW
