Community Health Academy

Strengthening the clinical skills of community health workers

Last Mile Health, an organization that has worked for more than a decade to support governments to build national community health systems, launched the Community Health Academy in 2017. By leveraging the power of digital training tools, the Community Health Academy partners with Ministries of Health to strengthen the clinical skills of community health workers and the capacity of health systems leaders in order to build higher quality health systems.

The Community Health Academy application, powered by OppiaMobile technology, provides:

• Offline access to learning activities, multimedia content, and quizzes on Android smartphones

• Offline course sharing between users via Bluetooth

• Points and badges earned for completing activities and courses

• Text to speech function – so activities can be read out loud

• Dashboard and analytics

• Search course and activity content

• Automatic notification when course updates are available
