The Ghana Medical Association (GMA) has set up a Public Health Education and Advocacy Unit to help achieve its goal of promoting good health among Ghanaians.
The unit is to building partnerships and collaborating with all professions and groups interested in optimal health care delivery.
In an interview with the General Secretary of the GMA, Dr Sodzi Sodzi-Tettey, he said currently, the unit had a core of 50 volunteer specialists and general medical practitioners poised to deepen the quality of health discourse in the print and electronic media.
Dr Sodzi-Tettey said for the GMA to achieve its objective, the association had communicated the formation of the unit to various press houses who may require the services of the volunteers for their health-related programmes.
He said already the unit had a partnership with two Accra-based radio stations for health education programmes, adding that the unit had been involved in educating the university community through Radio Univers, on Thursdays, for the past two months.
“Just last week, the GMA concluded a partnership deal with the management of Citi FM where every Wednesday, an hour is allocated to health on the Citi Morning Show. Both parties are keen to make it a success, with the first programme scheduled to come off this Wednesday, the 2nd of April at 9.00a.m”, he stated.
The General Secretary said similar collaboration with media houses were being worked out in the Ashanti and Upper East Regions.
