Abstract
In many contexts community health workers (CHWs) are intended to expand the
geographical accessibility of integrated primary health care (PHC) services at community
level, including prevention, promotive, and curative health services such as integrated
community case management (iCCM). However, there is little empirical evidence of the
contribution of CHWs to geographical accessibility of integrated PHC services at
community level, and approaches for optimising the scale and deployment of CHWs to
maximize the geographical accessibility of integrated PHC services in low- and middleincome
countries (LMICs).
