Project title: PROMOTION OF EAR AND HEARING CARE
Primary region: AFR

Event Description:
Ministry of Health through the Department of Public Health will conduct Awareness Campaigns on Prevention of Deafness and Hearing Loss. Different media platforms (traditional and modern) will be used to reach and relay promotional messages to the public.
The theme for this year encourages people to “Empower Themselves” on issues of ear and hearing care . As a result it was resolved to use different media platforms such as radio, print, and social media to indicate and be exemplary to the general public that technology can be also be used as a source of information that can be used for information, and education on different issues of ear and hearing care. Social media will be used especially to target young adults, youth and the school going age population since they tend to use different social media platforms to access information.
