A Global Focus on the Role of the Health Worker
In November, CapacityPlus is playing a key role in two major conferences—one focused on human resources for health, and one on family planning. Their goals are intrinsically linked. Countries that have made the greatest progress in family planning have employed strategies that included strong community health workforces. The role of the health worker is crucial.
At each conference, visit CapacityPlus at the booth of our lead partner, IntraHealth International.
