Whenever the 'Public' healthcare is concerned, there is no powerful & effective media like the social one & any important aspect regarding public healthcare educational programs or warnings of important disease threat can be effectively disseminated through social media.
However, personal & businesses oriented advertisements are to be avoided as our ethics do not permit it.
