With these seven factors, communicating about health, whether to the larger general public, or in a smaller clinical setting, would enforce a strong linkage between the public and healthcare. The considerations of health communications would allow for a better bridge to health any miscommunication that could occur. With this, there would be a drastic improvement in the health of individuals, families and communities.

These are key learnings that I hope to address in my future
