Radio project aims to highlight health issues

The Medical Knowledge Institute has identified 10 topics concerning individual health care, and ABC Ulwazi has adapted these for radio in three languages: Xhosa, English and Afrikaans.

Through these programmes, the aim is to provide community radio listeners with information that has a direct impact on their health and wellbeing.

The series will be broadcast on the following community radio stations based in the Western Cape:

• Radio Zibonele
  
• Radio Helderberg
  
• CCFM
  
• Radio KC
  
• Radio Atlantis
  
• Valley FM

The broadcast will begin in late January and run until the end of February 2011.
