The importance of Primary Health Care and the critical role played by Community Health Workers (CHW) to link communities to the health system was highlighted in Abbatt, F. (2005). The use of community members to render certain basic health services to their communities is a concept that has existed for at least 50 years. CHW programmes around the world largely focus on primary care services like maternal and child health, nutrition, family planning, immunizations, water and sanitation, communicable disease control, and basic curative care for some common illnesses.
