This study evaluates the training of community health workers (CHWs) in Fiji, aiming to improve their effectiveness in healthcare delivery. Despite well-established training policies, challenges like inconsistent training for new recruits and resource limitations persist. There’s a need for restructuring and standardizing both initial and ongoing training, especially in managing noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). These improvements are crucial to ensure CHWs are adequately prepared to provide essential community-based care across Fiji’s subdivisions.
