Caring for Sick Children in the Community
Globally, 30% of deaths among children under age five are caused by preventable, treatable diseases. Trained community health workers can save lives.
Our open-access refresher training helps health workers identify signs of common childhood illnesses, care for sick children at home, and refer families to health facilities when necessary.
