METHOD : Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with a purposive sample of fourteen Community Health Workers conducting home visits. The individual face to face interviews concentrated on the challenges perceived regarding home visits. All the interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using the tesch method. FINDINGS : The challenges perceived were that of the community, logistical, occupational, human resource and managerial.
