Governments currently seek approaches to accelerate progress on child survival with community based primary health care, as fifty-four countries are not currently on track to meet the under-five mortality sustainable development goal. More research is needed on the impact of community health worker home visits and other community health system strengthening approaches on population level health outcomes.
The ProCCM Trial tested a combination of proactive home visits with user fee removal, professional CHWs, and upgraded primary care. The trial followed 135,149 people for three years across 137 cluster sites, in an area of rural Mali that became an active conflict zone during the trial. The trial also included an embedded process evaluation, costing study, and cost-effectiveness analysis.
During this interactive webinar, speakers will synthesize key findings from the ProCCM Trial, and identify how the findings can be applied to accelerate local, national, and global efforts for UHC, maternal and health care, and child survival.
