  • Changing power narratives

    Open AccessAnne Neumann, Anne Waldron Neumann et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    Despite their central role in achieving health equity and Universal Health Coverage, only a minority of community health workers (CHWs) is formally recognised as health workforce and receives a salary.

We argue that critical investigations of the power dynamics that influence the design of CHW programmes can contribute system-level insights to strengthen the…

  • Safer primary healthcare facilities are needed to protect healthcare workers and maintain essential services

    Open AccessLeena Patel, Samantha Kozikott et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at increased risk of infection from SARS-CoV-2 and other disease pathogens, which take a disproportionate toll on HCWs, with substantial cost to health systems. Improved infection prevention and control (IPC) programmes can protect HCWs, especially in resource-limited settings where the health workforce is scarcest, and ensure patient safety and continuity of essential health services. In response to the COVID-19 pan…
