The Certificate Course in Community Health (CCH) is a short-term healthcare program designed to train individuals in providing primary healthcare services at the community level. This course aims to equip healthcare workers with the knowledge and skills necessary to promote health awareness, prevent common diseases, and provide basic medical care, particularly in rural or underserved communities. It plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between healthcare facilities and the public, empowering communities to improve health outcomes through preventive measures and early interventions.

The primary goal of the CCH program is to develop healthcare workers who can serve as a link between communities and the formal healthcare system. Participants are trained to conduct health education campaigns, provide basic medical care, and assist in public health initiatives. They learn how to work with vulnerable populations, manage common health issues such as malnutrition, maternal and child health, communicable diseases, and support vaccination drives and sanitation efforts. The course also emphasizes the importance of healthcare in preventing diseases and promoting overall community well-being.
