Training Local Health Champions: The Human Engine of CarePoints

Technology alone can’t deliver healthcare—it needs people. At the heart of every CarePoint are trained local health champions: nurses, health assistants, and community liaisons who bring both clinical skills and cultural understanding to their communities.

AirTook’s model focuses on upskilling local talent through the Wellness Academy. Community members receive training in:

1. 🩺 Patient triage and vitals collection
2. 💻 Telemedicine operations and digital tools
3. 💊 Safe medication dispensing and basic care
4. 📢 Community health education and outreach

This approach solves multiple problems at once:

1. Reduces brain drain by empowering locals to serve their communities.
2. Creates jobs in rural areas.
3. Builds trust because patients are greeted by familiar faces.
4. Ensures continuity because the system isn’t fully dependent on external staff.

These health champions are the human engine that powers every CarePoint’s impact.
