Community engagement and health education, activities from India 

Following Step 4.10, we will now look at community health education with examples from current IEC/BCC in India, particularly in the highly endemic state of Bihar. In this step, Dr Vikas Aggarwal (KalaCORE Regional Director for Asia) talks about the role of community health education and targeted messaging for VL control.

In this video, you will identify several ways that the community is approached and engaged, via education and discussion or by signposts and posters. We suggest that you also have a look at the IEC/BCC film that was produced as part of communication on VL control/kala-azar and used in Bihar.
