TEAM 3D
Team 3D is a nationally registered Non-Profit Organization established in 2015 in Manipal ,which aims to increase public awareness regarding reproductive health and aims to improve public practices through its activities. Team 3D organizes workshops to promote health awareness.
The relevance of health communication can be felt virtually in every facet of life and well-being of members of society particularly that of a woman. Health Communication being an integral component of health promotion, protection and disease prevention is recognized as an area of core competency. In today’s competitive world though woman is surging ahead in all fields, her status of health largely remains sidelined in many countries including India. Interestingly though a lot is talked about common communicable and non communicable health aspects, issues related to Reproductive Tract remains continues to remain a “taboo” and women largely do not speak about it. This conference wishes to focus its attention on health issues particularly in the areas of Women, media and sports.
Backing every health communication effort with sound knowledge and skill can help in efficacious management of multifarious forms of health related issues and problems. Public health practitioners, program managers and policymakers need to be aware of the significance of health communication interventions especially those aimed at the prevention and control of diseases so that impacts can be enhanced and the opportunities maximized.
An analysis of the existing situation points to a lacuna in communication between professionals in the arena of media, medicine, public health and healthcare. And this obstacle continues to hinder the pathway to a profound change in the behavior pattern towards a healthy life. The availability of knowledge, expertise or information is not the problem here but the real issue is how this is being dispensed to the community. This international conference, is an earnest interdisciplinary effort that will collate professionals from Media, Medical, Public Health, NGOs and others working in the area of health with communication specialists to make an effort to bridge the existing gap.
