I agree with the views of Dr Aslam (2007) encouraging colleagues to use the media as an educational tool. And I believe we can go one better by starting our own media organisations to output health information in various languages.
I help run Unity FM, a community radio station serving the Muslim population here in Birmingham. We broadcast programmes concerning both physical health and mental health issues. We also obtained some funding from a local primary care trust to run an infant mortality campaign recently.
If others wish to volunteer at the station, maybe as a guest to be interviewed on one of our shows, then please contact me.
