At least 87 Community Health Promoters (CHPs) from Lokichoggio Sub-County have successfully completed a five-day intensive training on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), equipping them with vital knowledge and skills to test, detect, prevent, and manage conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and common cancers at the community level.
The training was implemented by the Department of Health and Sanitation with support from Amref Health Africa through the Danida Transcend project.
Prior to this, all six Community Health Assistants (CHAs) in the sub-county underwent a Trainers of Trainers (ToT) course, enabling them to cascade the training to CHPs effectively. "This training is important.
It is good to see the County Government values us as important members of the healthcare sector, and they need us to gain more knowledge," said Veronicah Narubu, one of the trained CHPs.
