CHWs Responsibilities

TibaSalama Digital Health App has a specialized network of Community Health Workers (CHWs) who are carefully selected based on specific criteria and live within the communities they serve.

TibaSalama relies on these CHWs for its core activities, assigning them a crucial role in our daily operations. Their involvement ensures that we achieve our goals on time and with greater efficiency through a door-to-door approach.

CHWs provide integrated primary healthcare services, including:

Assisting with referral services during childbirth and transporting mothers to health facilities.
Conducting health screenings for children and early detection of malnutrition and other underlying diseases.
Providing antenatal and postnatal care for mothers.
Offering door-to-door health education and awareness on nutrition, vaccinations, mental health, the use of bed nets while sleeping, disease prevention, HIV /Aids and reproductive health challenges etc.
Ensuring proper and timely use of medication and reminding individuals to use their phones to access various primary health information.
Collecting health data from pregnant women, newborns, and children under five years old.

Despite facing challenges such as unreliable transportation and harsh environments, our Community Health Workers (CHWs) in rural Tanzania are dedicated to delivering essential services promptly and efficiently. TibaSalama provides them with ongoing training to enhance their professionalism and effectiveness.
