HEADLINE provides a digital platform to enhance support for female community healthcare volunteers (FCHVs) in Nepal.

HEADLINE is aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 5: Gender Equality.

We aim to empower FCHVs to become effective local authorities on community healthcare through better training.

HEADLINE is a UCL Grand Challenges: Health Systems winner.

Mission Statement

Background

FCHVs are a key pillar of Nepal’s public healthcare system, providing rural populations with medical advice.

However, they lack regular opportunities for ‘knowledge top-ups’ following basic training.

Our Mission

We aim to improve the healthcare training for FCHVs, by transforming selected training materials into an e-learning service that supports existing, local programs.

By partnering with NGOs and medical organisations, we wish to provide FCHVs with regular access to interactive and easy-to-use e-learning resources.
