Community-based health care is an important a part of medical care within the least times; in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the distinct capacity of trusted community members for social engagement and delivering care where it's needed is ever more critical. This joint WHO, UNICEF and IFRC guidance addresses the role of community-based health care within the pandemic context. It includes practical recommendations for decision makers to help keep communities and health workers safe, to sustain essential services at the community level, and to ensure an effective response to COVID-19. Using this comprehensive and coordinated approach will help countries strengthen the resilience of community-based health services throughout the pandemic, into early recovery and beyond.
