Half the world’s population lacks access to essential health services. Dr. Madeleine Ballard, CEO and co-founder of the Community Health Impact Coalition (CHIC) and community health worker Prossy Muyingo discuss the critical role played by community health workers.
On behalf of CHIC, Dr. Ballard has been named the 2024 Roux Prize winner. The Roux Prize recognizes individuals all over the globe who have used evidence-based health data to improve population health. The prize is sponsored by IHME’s founding board member David Roux and his wife, Barbara.
An independent population health research organization based at the University of Washington School of Medicine, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) works with collaborators around the world to develop timely, relevant, and scientifically valid evidence that illuminates the state of health everywhere. In making our research available and approachable, we aim to inform health policy and practice in pursuit of our vision: all people living long lives in full health.
