Title: Seminar to launch Primary EHC resources and highlight PEHC integration into PHC
Description: The Pakistan Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences in Islamabad hosted a seminar to commemorate World Hearing Day 2023. The event was primarily aimed at introducing the primary Ear and Hearing Care (EHC) training manual and trainer’s handbook. The seminar also focused on advocating for the integration of Primary EHC into Primary Health Care. Key discussions included the global and national status of EHC, measures to prevent Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL), and the importance of early detection of hearing loss. The seminar strongly recommended the assignment of EHC technicians and audiologists to Primary Health Care centers and endorsed the promotion of EHC through lady health workers.
