Why Invest in the WiRED CME Program?
The WiRED CME Program offers an extraordinary return on a modest investment.
A Small Investment. An Extraordinary Return.
Few investments in global health deliver the impact-per-dollar of training community health workers.
With minimal funding, the WiRED International CME Program:
- Reaches thousands of CHWs simultaneously
- Strengthens care for entire communities, not just individual patients
- Continues delivering value year after year without repeated training costs
A single trained CHW can serve hundreds—or thousands—of people over time. When that CHW is continuously educated, the impact multiplies.
Filling the Gap Left by Funding Cuts
Across low-resource regions, funding reductions have led to:
- Loss of essential medicines and vaccines
- Closure or downsizing of clinics
- Fewer trained health professionals
- Reduced disease surveillance and outbreak preparedness
Education cannot replace medicines—but it can provide people living in low-resource communities with a chance to protect themselves from illness (behavioral prevention) and to treat an illness with the best strategies possible.
By funding this CME program, donors help ensure that:
- Limited supplies are used appropriately
- Diseases are detected earlier
- Preventive care reduces costly emergencies
- Communities rely less on collapsing systems and more on local capacity
Technology that Maximizes Reach
WiRED’s proprietary smartphone-based platform allows:
- Rapid content deployment during outbreaks
- Updates aligned with WHO guidance
- Access in remote and underserved regions
- Training without travel, classrooms or ongoing instructor costs
This is high-leverage infrastructure—once funded, it continues delivering impact at scale.
Resilience, Not Dependency
Unlike short-term aid, this program:
- Builds lasting skills
- Empowers local health workers
- Strengthens community self-reliance
- Reduces long-term costs to health systems
It is not a temporary solution—it is a capacity-building investment.
An Opportunity for High-Impact Philanthropy
Funding the WiRED CME Program is an opportunity to:
- Protect vulnerable populations during a period of global retrenchment
- Preserve hard-won health gains
- Equip CHWs to respond to future pandemics and emerging diseases
- Achieve measurable, scalable and sustainable impact
