With support from partner organization Last Mile Health, she can access high-quality training and digital tools that enable her to hone her expertise and skills.

What a beautiful story - I have always thought one needs an incredible self drive and passion to work in Health Care and Workinesh confirms this - so much passion comes through when she speaks and how she interacts with her family, her mother and her patients. It was great too to see how HEWs interact with the patients at the Health Post and to see her conduct a home visit too. Thanks for sharing this powerful inspiring video @lastmilehealth
