The use of CHWs has been found to be effective in improving healthcare access and outcomes in underserved areas, where there are often inadequate healthcare facilities and a shortage of trained medical personnel.

Top 8 Skills Needed for a Successful Healthcare Career in Nigeria
Effective communication is essential in healthcare, and healthcare professionals need to be able to communicate effectively with patients, colleagues, and other stakeholders. You should be able to convey information clearly and accurately, listen actively, and ask questions. Poor communication can lead to misunderstandings, misdiagnosis, and other issues that can affect patient outcomes. For example, a nurse who is unable to communicate effectively with a patient who speaks a different language may not be able to understand their symptoms, leading to delayed or incorrect treatment.
The Importance of Interprofessional Collaboration in Healthcare
Interprofessional collaboration in healthcare allows healthcare professionals to leverage their collective knowledge and expertise to address complex healthcare challenges. By working together, healthcare professionals can streamline care delivery processes, improve patient outcomes, and enhance communication and coordination. This approach to care delivery can also lead to professional development and help healthcare professionals to stay up-to-date with the latest advances in healthcare.
