CHWs also referred to as Village Health teams (VHTs) are community volunteers selected from within their communities to provide health information, primary healthcare support and appropriate linkages to health services. Community Health Workers (CHWs) are considered an integral part of the health system in achieving universal health coverage for all individuals at all times. Several organizations have recognized (CHW) for performing a significant role in extending basic primary health care services to communities with limited access to healthcare services at the health facility. We assessed CHWs’ performance and the associated factors in responding to disease outbreaks in Masaka district.
