#WhatWeAreReading 🌉 Community health workers (CHW) are a critical bridge to health access for all. Community Health Impact Coalition's latest annual report outlines how they envision a world where CHWs (70% of which are women) are salaried, skilled, supervised, and supplied. At EYElliance we support this movement, integrating basic eye health and delivery of reading glasses into public community health systems in low- and middle-income countries. Together with a coalition of partners, EYElliance complements and extends government capabilities by providing targeted technical assistance on program design, facilitating training for CHWs, and fully institutionalizing programs within existing government systems. We also support governments’ ability to access large-scale donations and source affordable, quality eyeglasses to support community health worker systems to scale eye health services effectively. #communityhealthworkers #eyehealth #globaldevelopment

At the Coalition our vision is quality care for all, including those who provide it. But how do we get there? By making professional community health workers (proCHWs) the norm worldwide. We do this with three interconnected tactics to drive systems change. We research to equip international norm setters with evidence to create proCHW guidelines. We advocate to influence global financing institutions to increase proCHW funding. And we activate in-country CHW networks to win national proCHW policy. In our latest blog, and ahead of our upcoming Annual Report, we explore where we won in 2023 and what we hope to achieve together in the new year. What would you add to the list? We would love to hear in the comments! https://lnkd.in/eJMn_iWJ

"Deep listening, letting the community guide you, allowing the people who are deeply impacted to be able to find space, to find solutions is exactly what our communities need to change." Lu Hill, Community Engagement and Strategy director for EHF, reflects on the meaning of EHF's Equity Healing Framework and how it guides our work in community.

🎄 It’s the fifth day of our Christmas countdown and we’re showcasing a topical report, released last month with Newton Europe. The study sets out how hospital flow can be optimised, and makes the case for resource to be invested into community care: https://buff.ly/3NqLcZG

DaVita's annual Community Care Report highlights meaningful milestones that propel our corporate citizenship commitments forward.

If you can bear it, here's a video of me answering some key questions on community power based on our experience at New Local of working with councils and NHS. Questions like: What is community power? How can public services work in a more community powered way? What are the benefits of community power? What do national politicians think of community power? And many more! (And if you really can't bear to watch, all the answers are transcribed as well.) #communitypower #localgov #publicservices https://lnkd.in/eZkRnyH4
