Abstract

Training and support for community health workers is envisaged to positively shape a better effective health care system at the grass root level. All community health workers need adequate resources as they scale up treatment and support for people living in poor resource settings. The aim of this research report is to explore how the preparation and support processes for Community Health Workers influences their role in delivery of home-based care services in the Bushbuckridge Sub district during the period of April- July 2010.
