Imphal, August 08, 2012:
Song and Drama Division has kick started a two-day health awareness workshop held at Lamyanba Shanglen today.
The workshop was jointly organised by Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
Speaking at the occasion as chief guest, State Family Welfare Services Director Dr Sh Shurchandra said, the responsibility of providing medical facilities and imparting health awareness have been being shouldered by Medical and Family Welfare departments alone.
However, there has been need for disseminating information and imparting awareness through song and drama presentations, he added.
He added, apart from presenting dramatise programmes, four specialist doctors would speak on different ailments during the workshop.
Health and Family Welfare Regional Office CMO Dr N Inaoba said that Song and Drama Division would impart awareness through its dramatise presentations as hoardings alone could not disseminate the intended message to the general public.
IMPCC Manipur Chairman M Kanankumar Singh and S&DD headquarters Assistant Director N Chatterjee were also present in the workshop.
