About Integrate Health
Integrate Health works alongside governments and the local community to implement and study an
integrated approach to strengthening primary healthcare delivery in order to achieve universal health
coverage. By integrating professional community health workers with improved care in public clinics,
this approach creates a patient-centered health system that is accountable to the community and
dramatically reduces mortality in severely resource-limited settings. We have developed a primary
healthcare approach that works, leveraging community health workers and improved care in
public sector clinics to deliver better health outcomes and strengthen national healthcare
systems. Having demonstrated our approach in a catchment area that serves 140,000 people,
we are scaling our model to cover 240,000 people by 2021 and are supporting the Government
of Togo in its efforts to achieve universal health coverage. For more information on Integrate
