The REACHOUT Team are delighted to be attending the upcoming Global Symposium on Health Systems Research which will be held in Liverpool, UK on the 8-12 October 2018. The symposium is a great place to learn more about community health programmes and to showcase work from our project to an audience of researchers, policy makers and practitioners from around the world. We are looking forward to catching up with colleagues from the Thematic Working Group on Supporting and Strengthening the Role of Community Health Workers in Health Systems Development.
