Community Health Workers in Employment

Community Health Workers (CHWs) bridge the gap between communities and healthcare. They educate, inform, and raise awareness of health issues and initiatives.

LEBANurse trainees have various work prospects, as CHWs are in growing demand at clinics, NGOs, and local primary healthcare centers in Lebanon and beyond.

Training community health workers.

Primary health care nurses are doing more than ever. Their expanding responsibilities can lead to physical and emotional strain.

Assistant nurses trained by the LEBANurse programme can serve as community health workers, helping to distribute the workload more effectively by supporting health education, patient follow-up, and community outreach—allowing nurses to focus on complex clinical care.

The importance of assistant nurses❗

Assistant nurses are at the forefront of patient care. In many medical facilities and especially in long-term care, they have the most direct contact with patients.

The demand for well-trained assistant nurses is increasing globally. Training assistant nurses is integral for the survival of our healthcare systems.

LEBANurse is answering the demand locally in Lebanon.

🎓 As part of our Nursing Summer Camp, participants attended an informative orientation session led by our Student Services Officer Mrs. Mira Abdallah.

The session provided prospective students with valuable insights into the application process, admission requirements, important deadlines, and the scholarships and financial aid opportunities available to support their nursing journey at the AUB Hariri School of Nursing.

The session was followed by a short presentation by our student, Mrs. Serine Dayya, who introduced participants to student life at AUB, highlighting the University's clubs and organizations, with a special focus on the Nursing Student Society (NSS) at the Hariri School of Nursing.

We hope these sessions gave participants a better understanding of both the academic journey and the vibrant student experience at AUB.
