Individual healthcare deals with treating patients (individuals), providing them with medication, educating them about the disease etc. Community healthcare is also about the above-mentioned tasks. But instead of an individual, a community healthcare worker deals with a large amount of people/community/part of the population. Community healthcare workers usually work under the supervision/directions of a Doctor. They are capable of carrying out different types of non-clinical and clinical tasks. In order to perform these tasks, they must be trained in different areas of the allied healthcare sector.
