The Functions and Development of the Community Health Workers
AIDS can kill by disgrace even when lifesaving medical treatment is available. Until recently, an HIV-infected woman in Sauri, Kenya, was discouraged by her husband, also HIV-infected, from seeking medical care because of his fear of disgrace. All too often, death quickly ensues in such cases. But not in this one. Husband and wife were saved by Mary Wasonga, a fellow villager recently trained to be a community health worker by the Millennium Village Project, which is helping more than 400,000 people in dozens of African communities fight extreme poverty, hunger and disease. Wasonga visited the couple and encouraged them to get home-based HIV testing and counseling, and then helped them enroll in a treatment program. Indeed, she and the 82 other community health workers in Sauri have helped thousands of villagers do the same.
These workers also attend to women in labor who need urgent transport to a delivery room, individuals too weakened by cholera to get to a clinic, children with malaria and many others. They do this with one year of on-the-job training that builds on at least some secondary education. That basic training is enough to save lives in vast numbers.
Across Africa, Asia and Latin America, programs are under way that are reminiscent of China’s successful use of village-based health workers—the so-called barefoot doctors—a few decades ago, but today’s workers have even better health-care tools. The mother of all community health efforts is India’s National Rural Health Mission. Initiated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and spearheaded by the young, dynamic Minister of Health, Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss, the program has, in just over three years, mobilized more than half a million new community health workers, each known as an ASHA—short for "accredited social health activist," and the Hindi word for hope.
Technology companies and foundations are also joining the effort to support community health workers. Mobile-phone giant Ericsson is empowering these workers with phones and support systems for training, reporting vital statistics and calling ambulances, among other services. In India, Saty-am Computer Services and other organizat-ions have partnered with the state government of Andhra Pradesh to provide emerg-encyrresponse coverage for 80 million people. The Gates Foundation is similarly stepping up its programs of mobile-phone-based health delivery.
In the coming years, community health workers can support a breakthrough in the decisive control of many devastating diseases. The rich world can help through expanded financial support for community health workers and training programs by its universities. And the U. S. can learn something from these programs: we too need to enlist more community workers to help our own poor and vulnerable. [br] According to the third paragraph, India’s National Rural Health Mission______.
选项
A、was initiated by India’s Minister of Health
B、was spearheaded by India’s Prime Minister
C、was based on barefoot doctors
D、was the origin of all community health efforts
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。第三段第二句指出所有社区的健康工作都起源于印度的全国农村健康计划,可知[D]正确。由第三段第三句可知,印度的全国农村健康计划是由总理曼默汉·辛格发起,由卫生部长安布玛尼·热玛多博士充当先锋,因此[A]和[B]的说法都不正确。赤脚医生是中国曾经的乡村健康工作者,并非印度全国农村健康计划的基础,[C]也不正确。
