Communicating Health Information

Sharing and dissemination of health information needs careful planning to inform both the public and local health staff, local government departments, and the Ministry of Health, as well as other health-related sectors like agriculture, education, water, and environment, and non-governmental health organizations. Local radio and social media are very important for active communications between district teams, health workers, and the wider public. Policy briefs can be used to disseminated and circulate health news, reports and plans. The importance of making power-point presentations and presenting written reports and papers is emphasised.
