Feel Something, Do Something
The human body gives early signals, but we often ignore them, and eventually, these minor symptoms become major health issues? At Health Parliament and the International Patients’ Union we are excited to launch a worldwide initiative: “Feel Something, Do Something.” It’s about valuing our health by paying attention to even the tiniest warning signs and taking appropriate action- doing something when one feels something.
Just On You
Organizations and governments spend billions of dollars promoting healthy habits and spreading awareness through public health campaigns. Yet, these campaigns have not yielded the desired results. Something is missing!
The research studies conducted by the sister company, Health Parliament reveal the lack of the last mile connect for the campaigns – Disconnect between Right information and Right Action. Over the past two years, we have tried to understand this challenge and created a path-breaking campaign to bridge this divide. Hence the campaign JOY- Just on You. With JOY, we hope to make one person from each household a champion for healthy habits and timely decisions for health; the individual could be a son, daughter, sister, mom, or someone who will nudge the family for healthier choices – The ‘Joy’ of the family.
Neither Share Nor Learn
In today’s digital age, information spreads fast and can influence our choices, and if the information available online is misleading, it can be harmful and even fatal. Health Parliament and International Patients’ Union recognize the urgency of addressing this issue. We’re proud to introduce the “Neither Share nor Learn” campaign – a worldwide movement aimed at combating the harmful effects of false information on our well-being.
World Health Communication Week
‘Health Communication’ remains one of the biggest challenges across communities and countries. To address this challenge, Health Parliament proposes the ‘World Health Communication Week’ to bring the focus back to basics. We have a doctor’s day, nurses’ day, and several days focusing on diseases, etc. (https://www.who.int/campaigns), but healthcare communication has no day dedicated to it, and without addressing the communication (interaction between the care seeker and care provider), we cannot deliver appropriate healthcare interventions. The Health Parliament and International Patients’ Union invites global stakeholders to celebrate World Health Communication Week in the 1st week of April, concluding with World Health Day (7th April). We should use this opportunity to focus on all aspects of healthcare-related communication and conduct programs and campaigns to address the fundamental issues of ‘interaction’ and ‘information’ for communicating about healthcare.
We hope this global campaign will save millions of lives every year.
