About CCHC
It is a six-month certificate program. This course belongs to the allied healthcare training sector. Allied healthcare workers form an integral part of our healthcare industry. They take care of different types of clinical and non-clinical tasks taking place in healthcare institutes.
In order to train and develop skilled allied healthcare workers, we have paramedical science courses. Certificate in Community Health Care is one such paramedical science course.
This course deals with community healthcare services. What is community healthcare all about, you may ask. Community healthcare deals with providing healthcare services, education and products to a specific community/part of the population.
Individual healthcare deals with treating patients (individuals), providing them with medication, educating them about the disease etc. Community healthcare is also about the above-mentioned tasks. But instead of an individual, a community healthcare worker deals with a large amount of people/community/part of the population. Community healthcare workers usually work under the supervision/directions of a Doctor. They are capable of carrying out different types of non-clinical and clinical tasks. In order to perform these tasks, they must be trained in different areas of the allied healthcare sector.
