Problem Statement
Nigeria has a scarcity of health workers, with the ratio of doctors to patients standing at 1:9000. This need is felt more in rural and semi-urban areas.
To address this need, Community Health Extension Workers (CHEW) exist to help bridge this gap in rural and underserved communities.
These workers undergo 2-3 years of training and can provide care for select conditions, referring patients to secondary and tertiary health facilities if needed.
