KISUMU MCAs want community health workers to be recognised and remunerated. In a motion moved by nominated MCA Salome Lungafa, they said the workers are important in providing primary health care. Lungafa said registering households, conducting public education, referrals and monthly reports to health facilities are some roles played by the CHW. She said they are faced by many challenges other than payments. Lungafa said they lack proper training working equipment. She said the national government initiated the community health wake up programme yet it lacks proper mechanisms of sustaining it.
