April 2022 | On World Malaria Day, let’s thank community health worker Beatha Mukabucyana of Rwanda and others like her who play a central role in delivering quality malaria services to women and families where they live. Jhpiego is strengthening prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malaria across Africa with the help of community health workers such as Beatha. Next, meet a social worker in South Sudan who helps adolescents access quality health care.
