The project, which is a joint undertaking with South Western Sydney Local Health District, is working with Muslim Community Radio and the Voice of Charity to produce a series of interviews to raise awareness of the importance of hepatitis B testing and treatment.
The project offers an exciting opportunity for the station, according to Faten El Dana, OAM, of Muslim Community Radio, 92.1FM.
“We're excited to work with the MHAHS again. Muslim Community Radio, 2MFM, plays an important role in bringing about positive change. Our involvement in the project is a step in that direction. Supporting the project is a great way to interact with our listeners as well as provide important health information,” said Ms El Dana.
Community radio stations remain a powerful way to reach Arabic-speaking communities, according to Faten Solaqa, Hepatitis B Project Officer from the MHAHS.
“If we’re trying to educate culturally diverse communities, we need to include ethnic media in our efforts. Community radio outlets are highly regarded and have the capacity to reach wide audiences,” said Ms Solaqa.
