Community health workers are being trained to provide care. These workers include a traditional birth attendant, a health worker who can diagnose and treat illnesses, and a preventative health worker. The teams consist of three members chosen by the community and trained by Médecins Sans Frontières.
A significant population is being covered by these outreach teams, with around 50,000 people receiving care at six sites. More teams are being added, with training scheduled for additional workers. Further details about the outreach program and its goals are available from the source, including information about the areas being served and the types of care being provided.
