The distribution of medical commodities is based on CHWs specialty. Binomes receive drugs and medications as they are responsible of treatment and provision of medication. Both CHW cadres receive same equipment they use in health promotion, reporting and referrals.
*ASMs would not be expected to have this supply based on their roles in the community.
ASM, Agent de Sante Maternelle; CHWs, community health workers.
