There are simply not enough medical clinics or qualified medical extension officers to convey this information. ABC Ulwazi transforms basic healthcare information supplied by MKI into Entertainment Education (EE) programmes. Additionally, information about clinics and workshops run and maintained by MKI and its partners is disseminated. The project aimed to &#8220;decrease the number of deaths and severe internal injuries sustained by young women through ignorance of basic medical matters&#8221; (project proposal).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Actions and Schedule<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the MKI theme &#8220;Prevention though Education&#8221; ABC Ulwazi developed scripts, and produced ten topical PSA&#8217;s (Public Service Announcement), in three local languages, lasting one minute each, which were broadcast from 24<sup>th\u00a0<\/sup>January until 24<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0February 2011 twice a week by six radio stations each in the Western Cape Province. The participating radio stations supplemented the PSA broadcasts with a talk show providing additional information on the profile and services of the MKI. The overall project phase lasted from October 2010 till March 2011.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Results so far<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>MKI reported an increase in requests for training and\u00a0contacts by community members, which are attributed as a direct result of the radio programmes.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"class_list":["post-125","project","type-project","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
