‘Coming of Age: Communication’s role in powering global health’ – overview of BBC Media Action discussion (2016)

November 13, 2016

On November 10th 2016 BBC Media Action held a  panel discussion entitled, ”Coming of Age: Communication’s role in powering global health’. The event offered an opportunity to consider why the most effective responses to public health challenges faced by developing countries (such as HIV, Ebola, polio, child mortality) are fiercely debated,  yet the vital role of communication has rarely been at the centre of these conversations. The event highlighted key themes from BBC Media Action’s new Policy Briefing: Coming of Age: Communication’s Role in Powering Global Health,  and included speakers from UNICEF, WHO, USAID, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Wellcome Trust as well as BBC Media Action.

This Storify captures some of the online conversation around the issues discussed, and here is a link to the video of the event.
