Why is it important?
We found that non-governmental organization BRAC uses a micro-credit system to support the provision of motivated healthcare workers in rural and slum areas. The workers share healthcare knowledge with the residents and earn money by selling them medicine. BRAC also transfers basic healthcare knowledge to community health workers and local patients through training sessions and mobile health implementation. The system discussed in this work is an effective means to develop healthcare service policies in a limited resource context.
