Developing a WHO African Region mOral Health Curriculum for Community Health Workers

by

Authors: Brittany Seymour, Donna Hackley, Miriam Muriithi, Danielle Burgess, Nikki Aflatooni, Dahee Chung, Nithya Ramesh

The WHO African Regional Office developed a digital training program called mOral Health to train community health workers (CHWs) in oral health care. This program aims to improve access to basic oral health services across Africa, where trained dental professionals are scarce. Using mobile technology, the curriculum teaches CHWs how to prevent and manage oral diseases as part of essential health services. This is the first region-wide oral health training program for CHWs and is designed to be scaled up and integrated into efforts to prevent and manage noncommunicable diseases.
