If we are to reduce the number of under 5 child deaths globally, we need to bring health care closer to the community and beyond the clinic walls to children at home. These women and others like them all around the globe are doing just that and saving young lives. Having just met some of these amazing women this spring n both Guatemala and Nepal working on some programs with Save the Children, I can tell you they are the heros and they are really saving kids lives. Great pics too. Carolyn Miles, COO Save the Children. Thanks for these daily posts from the ONE trip to Africa – glad you highlighted the important role of the community health worker.
