Abstract

There are unsystematic and sub-optimal communications of health information at the community level, which can militate against such information and hinder the effective delivery of health programmes to communities. Hence, health communication and promotional interventions should align with the needs of the communities, encompassing their structural, cultural, social, religious and economic systems.
