Master of Public Health - MPH / Community health workers (CHWs) are integral to improve Primary health care (PHC)
coverage, utilising their unique skills within the community to make services accessible and
equitable. PHC is the cornerstone of the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill for the provision
of Universal Health Care (UHC). The Department of Health (DOH) in the Western Cape, South
Africa, has set priorities and requirements for the provision of funding to Non-profit
organisations (NPOs) for forming coalitions with the Health Department to deliver various
aspects of health care. The post-2015 agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are
underscored by a strong sense of intersectoral collaboration to work together to attain sufficient
and sustainable progress. Collaboration between CHWs and PHC facilities is important in
aligning goals and activities to ensure a comprehensive and sustainable approach to ensuring
