Clinical and Other Resources

CMMB is training community health workers to build resilience and help stop the spread of COVID-19 in our remote communities. Community health workers provide critical front-line care to the remote communities we serve.

To educate the public on COVID-19 prevention and treatment, CMMB’s technical team is rapidly implementing new COVID-19 training for community health workers and health care workers. These trainings will ensure that all have a firm understanding of COVID-19 signs and symptoms as well as best practices and protocols for prevention, control, and mitigation, including effective behavior change communication on handwashing and social distancing.

Our headquarters staff is actively staying abreast of COVID-19 developments, ensuring a nimble, rapid response and assured implementation of best practices, updating our field staff in real time.
