[Solved]: CHWs hired by the government in the small city of…

CHWs hired by the government in the small city of Santiago are called Cooperadores de Salud, literally translated as “health cooperators.” Most of them live in and serve rural communities that are distant from the city, where medical clinics and hospitals are located. Infectious diseases spread rapidly in these rural villages because the culture emphasizes large gatherings and spending free time with neighbors, friends, and family. When residents do get sick, they tend to wait as long as possible to find their way to the city for health care because the residents don’t have cars and there is no public transportation. What Cooperadores de Salud roles and responsibilities would be most effective in addressing an infectious disease outbreak like influenza in the community? a.) Training residents on how to drive so they can get to the city when professional medical care is needed b.) Educating residents on the importance of temporary social distancing during disease outbreaks and coordinating transportation to medical services for early treatment c.) Helping community leaders develop local regulations to prevent people from gathering whenever there are possible cases of infectious diseases present in the village d.) Recruiting volunteer medical doctors from the city hospital to come to the villages whenever there are severe cases of influenza that need to be treated
