Module 4 The work of <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Volunteers 230 Unit Summary There are two health delivery programmes which the volunteer assists the CHO to do – outreach programmes and health delivery at the facility level. The volunteer’s role is mainly mobilisation of community members to fully participate in all health delivery activities. The volunteer is said to have done well when he gets about 80% of community members to participate in outreach activities, women to participate in MCH activities and sick people to report promptly to the health facility. Also, the volunteer can use this occasion to collect vital health data about the community and pass it on to CHOs. These were things we learned in this unit. Module Summary The main work of the volunteer is to assist the CHO in the provision of basic health services to community members. The volunteer does this through home visiting, health education and promotion, treatment of minor ailments, assisting the CHO during outreach and at the facility. As the volunteer does this work he or she interacts with the clients and gets to know their health problems, advises them and refers them to the CHO or gives them minor treatments. Food is an important determinant of health and the volunteer has a role to play in assisting community members identify foods within their environment that promote good health. When volunteers do this job effectively, they help to raise the health status of the community and lower its disease burden. Therefore, the volunteer is a very important link between the health delivery system and the individual and family who take action to improve their health.
