The Canadian Red Cross (CRC) has partnered …
Community-based health care is an essential component of a resilient health system
Investments in community-based health service delivery contributed to continued access to lifesaving treatment for child pneumonia and diarrhea during the Ebola outbreak, making communities more resilient when facility-based health services were impacted by the crisis.
