COMMUNITY HEALTH PROMOTERS TRAINED ON COMMUNICATION SKILLS TO ENHANCE DEAF COMMUNITY ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES

Community health promoters have completed a five-day intensive training on basic communication skills designed to improve access to health information and services for the deaf community.

The program, conducted in collaboration with key partners, was a major step toward enhancing inclusivity in healthcare and advancing the goal of Universal Health Coverage.

According to the county’s Department of Preventive and Promotive Health, the training equips promoters with the skills to deliver services that are not only accessible to the deaf but also respectful of their language and culture.
