About Health

 

Health Volunteers are assigned to the Ministry of Health and work in small rural communities at Health and Social Promotion Centers (Centres de Santé et de Promotion Sociale) that provide treatment and preventive services to the inhabitants of five to 10 surrounding villages. Health Volunteers’ primary responsibilities are to assist in the establishment, training, and operation of a health management committee (comité de gestion) and to assist in a community health needs assessment. In addition, they help plan, conduct, and evaluate health promotion programs to address priority problems in the community.
