| description | The recent discussion nationally on vaccine hesitancy and reluctance to follow Covid appropriate behaviour has once again brought focus on how communication in health has remained a challenge after all these years.Why haven't we convinced mothers to wash hands and use fluids available at home for diarrhoea prevention? Why do doctors fail to give proper advice to patients even for their own prescription? Why aren't proper instructions given while dispensing IFA? Why are the four key messages not given by health workers during vaccination? One common thread runs through all these: lack of communication. |
