26 Conclusion (2) Nurses are the main professional component of the "Frontline staff in most health systems and their contribution is recognized as essential for universal health coverage Conditions of service must be conducive enough to retain CHNs in the practice Need for opportunities to develop professionally, gain autonomy and participate in decision making, fair rewards to attract and retain any category of nurses 26
