Providing Appropriate Health Care For Adult, Seniors and Children

Health care facilities (rural clinics, health centres) should be within easy walking distance of the community, particularly for women and children.
—> Outreach or primary health care workers, such as health visitors and promoters, can be valuable front-line community health workers if they are provided with adequate training and support, particularly if they come from the community itself.
—> Other health service providers (pharmacists, medicine sellers, traditional healers) can provide additional health advice and care if they are given adequate training and support, and are supervised by medical staff.
