<div>Lay health workers (LHW) should ideally be supported by the community. The past history teaches us something else: communities do not support them, once the NGO or the Government withdraw and/or incentives wither.<br>
WHO is now re-encouraging LHW, in the frame of reviving PHC. However nobody in WHO or other institutions of 'experts' produces a <u>single</u> experience of <u>l</u>ocal community sustaining its own LHW, on a <u>long term</u> , with mutual satisfaction. <br>
A true,single experience,please.<br><br>Massimo Serventi<br>Paediatrician<br>30 years of work in Africa<br>Khartoum<br><br> </div></div>
