DOH-CHD 9 to hold seminar for media people

By Gideon C. Corgue

PAGADIAN CITY  The Department of Health-Center for Health Development (DOH-CHD) 9 is periodically conducting a seminar for press people on health reporting, recognizing that “health stories are not among the easiest news to report to the public.”

DOH-CHD 9 Regional Director Teogenes P. Baluma said the activity aims to help media fully understand the significant facts surrounding health issues that are currently making the headlines.

Baluma said the media seminar dubbed “DOH and the Media on Health Issued 101,” is a half day activity and to be held in Lantaka Hotel, Zamboanga City on May 16, 2013.

Topics to be discussed center on “100% Smoke free Environment” based on the World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and Republic Act 9211 or the Tobacco Regulation Act of 2003.

The agency has invited selected media practitioners to join the activity. (PIA9)
