Public Awareness Drives (PADS)

Public Awareness is the processes of informing the general population, increasing levels of consciousness about risks and how people can act to reduce their exposure

"Creating Health Awareness is a big challenge, especially in the country like Pakistan where a large part of population are illiterate and without any access to mass media. And the crux of the problem is that this population is more in need of awareness.

For the literate people, mass media is the best way to generate awareness. Television, Internet, Newspapers are very effective and doing a great service in spreading message to masses. There is a need to use these effective medium wisely and for the people good.

For the awareness about health, there is a great need to inculcate good habit in the starting; I mean to say at the child hood. For this there is a great need to include health education in the education system of the country. A holistic syllabus up from the class 1 can be framed out to give suitable information about health, healthy habits, Indian System of medicines, Uses of indigenous locally herbs etc.

For the population in reach of the education system we need to use the traditional medium like street play, folk songs, folk dances and create a kind of network of people with the peoples participation for carrying out the awareness activities"
