The Association of Community Health Practitioners of Nigeria is a professional body that represents community health practitioners across the country. It promotes professional development, quality community-based healthcare delivery, preventive health services and improved access to essential healthcare, particularly at the grassroots.
Community health practitioners often serve as the first point of contact for residents of rural and semi-urban communities, providing primary healthcare services such as immunisation, maternal and child healthcare, health education and disease prevention.
