Last Mile Health
Community Health Workers have long been posed as a solution for settings out of the reach of doctors and clinics, but the traditional volunteer models just don’t work.
About Raj
At age nine, Raj narrowly escaped a civil war in his home country of Liberia. He went to the US, attended medical school, and in 2005, Raj returned to serve the people he had left behind. Raj worked with fellow Liberian refugees to rebuild village health care in his home country by pioneering a new community-based health worker model.
