Module 4 The work of <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Volunteers 228 In earlier modules, you learnt that the health volunteer is a person who helps to lead families and neighbours towards better health. Often, he or she has been selected by the other community members or leadership as someone who is specially able, kind, and willing to serve others. The community health volunteer then undergoes an organised training to equip him/her to assist in the delivery of basic services mainly at the community level. However, at the facility level, which would most likely be at the CHPS compound, the CHV is expected to assist the CHO. At the facility level, the CHV should note that no matter how great or small the knowledge and skills that he or she has, the CHV can do a good job as long he knows and works within his limits. The CHV can assist the CHO in delivering health service but they will not do things beyond them. They will help in: Exercise 4.6.2 Objective 1.
