Over the last two months, the WSP Fiji team have been delivering scabies control training to Community Health Workers (CHWs). Over 300 CHWs have been trained on scabies transmission, complications and available treatments. The CHWs have been provided with a flipchart and are currently delivering scabies awareness sessions to their community members. Training will continue until October this year and will take place in each Division.

The CHWs have been enjoying the training including learning about the complications of scabies. One of the CHWs was quoted as saying; ‘This is the first time I am hearing about the seriousness of scabies in that it can cause RHD. I will never take scabies lightly again.’

Well done to the WSP Fiji team for delivering such great training sessions!
