The health ministry has launched a new group of community health workers in Rubirizi District. Permanent Secretary Diana Atwiine stated these trained CHEWs will now operate alongside existing village health teams. Their goal is to boost preventive care and early diagnosis through a unified front.
Atwiine also suggested making Rubirizi a pilot district for integrated social service committees, citing its leadership as a model for others. This deployment aims to improve basic healthcare access in remote areas, mirroring successful community-based systems from other countries.
