SUNDAY, JANUARY 6, 1980

THE FIRST HALF OF THE 30-MINUTE PROGRAMME IS A BRIEF TALK BY A SPEAKER WHO IS A SPECIALIST IN A PARTICULAR FIELD, AND THE REMAINING HALF IS FOR ANSWERING PHONE-IN QUESTIONS.

A SPOKESMAN FOR THE MEDICAL AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAID RADIO TALKS HAD PROVED TO BE ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE MEANS IN EDUCATING THE PUBLIC.

THE TWO DEPARTMENTS HAVE BEEN RUNNING PROGRAMMES FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AS PART OF A LONG-TERM HEALTH EDUCATION CAMPAIGN.

IN THE PAST, TOPICS PRESENTED INCLUDED HEALTH FOR THE ELDERLY, HYPER-TENSION, KIDNEY DISEASES, CARE FOR THE EYE, EAR AND NOSE, AND MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH,

+IN VIEW OF THE GOOD RESPONSE TO THESE PROGRAMMES, AND THE FREQUENT REQUESTS FOR MORE, THE TWO DEPARTMENTS HAVE DECIDED TO BROADCAST EPISODES ON PERSONAL HYGIENE AND FAMILY HEALTH, HE SAID.

ASIDE FROM ARRANGING RADIO TALKS, THE CENTRAL HEALTH EDUCATION UNIT ALSO HOLDS CONTESTS AND EXHIBITIONS TO ENHANCE THE AWARENESS OF THE PUBLIC ON HEALTH. FURTHERMORE, IT PRODUCES A VARIETY OF VISUAL AID MATERIALS, SUCH AS MOVIES, SLIDES, POSTERS AND LEAFLETS FOR DISTRIBUTION.
