Radio Health (Kerala)
Radio Health is a radio-based health awareness program implemented by the National Health Mission, Kerala since 2008. This is a 15 to 30-minute program aired in All India Radio focusing on disseminating health-related information.[1] The health awareness information presented in this program is mainly related to communicable and non-communicable diseases, adolescent health, lifestyle diseases, trauma care, mental health, geriatrics, maternal health and child care. The Radio Health Program is broadcasted through eight radio stations.[2] It is broadcasted in Akashavani AM at 10 am from Monday to Friday and on Ananthapuri FM at 2:45 pm on all days.[1]
Under this project, a community radio program for schoolchildren between 5-10 standards was also initiated.[3] The pilot project was carried out in 2013 with a funding of 4.5 lakh rupees, where schoolchildren create health-related content for Radio Health.[4]
