Dear all,

That's impressive !!! Great initiation indeed.

expects to educate people in such a way that they could understand the underlying mechanism of their illness so that they can control the further progress of diseases and prevent the life threatening compilations.

So who are the target population - patients admitted in the hospital? Patient parties? Local community? Anybody who is interested and wish to stop and educated?

Is there any focus to any specific area - like tropical medicine, neglected diseases, noncommunicable diseases, water borne or insect borne diseases?

And how are you inviting the people? Since it

This program will be conducted on a monthly basis throughout the year.

I guess there is going to be some kind of message you will have to spread among the people to insure the participation. So what is the modality of information dissemination?

What exactly

understand the underlying mechanism of their illness

means? I mean the mechanism - PATHOPHYSIOLOGY? Socioeconomic condition? I mean to say whether you are focusing on the principle or mechanism of disease causation, treatment and outcome measures of a disease from the point of view of society, settings, cultural, economic and gender perspective or scientific pathophysiology?


Anyway, good thinking.




Best wishes,
