ABSTRACT
There is a general feeling that rural urban health programme cannot be engineered by Mass media. But thanks for media pluralson. This term which refers to an increase in the number and variety of media structures and organizations has improved the variety of functions to which the media put in the society.
The aim of this study is to access the extent at which mass media propagates health messages in the society to minimize death and ensure better health condition.
In order to arrive at an objective conclusion, of the mass media and the coverage of health awareness system, I gave units on what health is all about and its relationship with mass media in the introductory chapter. In the literature review, I expressed the related review on the topic, which made me to understand that there would hardly be an absolve health improvement with out the motivation, sensitization, education and information function of mass media, in analysis from the respondent, it was fanned that “Health” is essentials in every society and must be followed up to ensure that members of the society is relieved from its treats. More so, I observed that mass media plays an indomitable role in controlling diseases. This is to say that through the involvement of the mass media in controlling disease, the society also has been more sensitized. However, the methodology that we used by the researchers was the simple survey method because of its ability to generate quantifiable data coupled with its being realistic method of extracting information from the people their feelings and opinions on the phenomenon which this study needed some at involves attitudes.
Actually the mass media played a unique role in combating the dispersal of communicable and non-communicable diseases, the researchers still recommend that the role hold more benefits:
The mass media:
Regularly conduct and provided to its specific audient with useful
information.
properly conduct and well organize more of health programmes to
depict its purpose.
Finally, put on their whole armor fasten their girdle and be ready to
take greater responsibility, challenges and demands, which would
enable them attain the heights required from the spread of diseases
and encouraging health development programmes.
Nevertheless
mass media has entered in to its development stage and it is non-
stopping since the masses rely adversely on media to shape their
behaviour and belief toward certain health condition.
Nonetheless, it is better to prevent disease penetration in the society
than to campaign for the cume. Mass media is out for all purpose.
