Medical And Media Collaboration, Health Campaign Becomes Priority
JAKARTA The collaboration between medical personnel and national press is a strategic step to make people's health programs a success. This synergy is expected to be able to expand the reach of health campaigns, provide easily understood information, and have a positive impact on the community.
Saturday (12/11), the cooperation commitment was declared at the Indonesian Pinggir People's Media Editor's Office, South Jakarta. The initiator of this collaboration, dr. M. Saptadji, Chair of the Indonesian Medical Digital Association, together with the Editor-in-Chief of Indonesian People's Media, Toto Irianto, and the Editor-in-Chief of VOI.id, Iqbal Irsyad, agreed to establish synergies to combine strength in delivering health messages.
"The room to campaign for health messages is still very broad, especially with the development of digital technology," said dr. Saptadji. However, he admits that medical circles are often constrained in conveying messages effectively to the public. We need media support so that our message can be easier to understand and accept," he added.
Health messages resulting from this collaboration will be designed in a planned manner, integrating field activities and digital platforms. This step is expected to be able to create a wider and more positive impact. Through the mass media, we can ensure that health messages reach all corners of the country," continued Saptadji.
