Authors: Community Health Systems Initiative Round Table Series
Daniel Palazuelos, Partners In Health, sits down with Debbie Singh to discuss her experiences working with CHW’s in Uganda. Singh uses Partners In Health’s CHW Framework, 5-SPICE, in Uganda with an emphasis on the importance of trust. She is interested in the role of the CHW as an extension of the health system, a representative of the community, and agents of change and thus how this builds trust within communities and CHW circles. Her papers on trust and CHWs in Uganda can be found in the CHW Central Resources.
