HIFA presentation today at the Global Evidence Summit, Prague (3) How to meet the healthcare information needs of people without internet?

11 September, 2024

Dear HIFA Colleague,

Thank you very much for sharing your information with us. Nowadays, health information for the people is essential to keep them ok for surviving. I can understand the importance of this issue but my concern is in developing countries like Bangladesh in the rural areas where doctors are not available and the internet is rare. How it will be possible to ensure accessible information and what communication strategy will support them to make the correct decision and care for their better life. My second Concern is Medical profession is a noble profession. It deals with life saving there and how this treatment environment will make people friendly.

Sorry to comments being a non medical person in this forum.

Regards
