Wondering what is a Community Health Entrepreneur?
Community Health entrepreneurs (CHEs) are vital members of the healthcare system, especially in underserved areas. They are local members who receive specialized training from Global Medical Brigades to provide essential health services within their communities.
Here's just a sneak peak of what they do:
📚Health Education: CHEs teach community members about preventive health practices, nutrition, and hygiene.
🏥Basic Healthcare Services: They offer basic medical care, including first aid and blood pressure and glucose check up.
