Module 1 The CHPS Concept<br />

Module Summary<br />

84<br />

CHPS has brought health to the doorsteps of many rural folks in Ghana. The community<br />

volunteer system also ensures that community members participate in, plan for and manage<br />

health activities to their own benefit. Skills such as communication, being a team player,<br />

interpersonal relation and conflict management are necessary for CHOs, volunteers and<br />

community members to get along. For CHPS to work, volunteers must try and put all these<br />

skills into practise while they perform their roles.
